This military junta , chaired by Salou Djibo, ruled Niger from February 2010 to January 2011 after the overthrow of President Mamadou Tandja . After the transfer of power to the government of civilian President Mahamadou Issoufou , the latter sent a number of members of the dissolved junta abroad as diplomats.
