NIGER’S MILITARY JUNTA GIVES FRENCH AMBASSADOR 48HOURS ULTIMATUM TO EXIT COUNTRY
By Aishat Momoh. O.
The French ambassador has been given 48 hours to leave Niger by the military authorities that took over Niamey on July 26, according to a statement released on Friday by the nation’s foreign affairs ministry.
In response to “other actions of the French government contrary to the interests of Niger” and “the refusal of the French ambassador in Niamey to respond to an invitation” from the minister for a meeting on Friday, the authorities have decided to revoke Sylvain Itte’s approval and demand that he leave within 48 hours, according to the statement.
The leaders of the coup have not been coy about their ties to France.
The French military is allegedly trying to destabilise Niger by releasing detained “terrorists” and violating airspace restrictions.
“We are witnessing a real plan of destabilisation of our country, orchestrated by French forces,” Abdramane said.
