Niger Military Junta Demands French Ambassador Leave the Country

"Niger’s military rulers, who seized control of the government in July, gave the French
ambassador 48 hours to leave the country.....The French foreign ministry told AFP : “The putschists do not have the authority to make this request, the ambassador’s approval coming solely from the legitimate elected Nigerien authorities.”....France has 1,500 soldiers based in Niger who had been helping Bazoum in the fight against jihadist forces that have been active in the country for years."
