Emmanuel Macron says he will consult coup leaders on withdrawal after two months of defying their expulsion order
France will imminently withdraw its ambassador from Niger followed by the French military contingent in the next months, Emmanuel Macron has said in the aftermath of the coup in the west African country that ousted the pro-Paris president.
The French president’s announcement appeared to end two months of defiance over the coup, which had seen Paris keep its ambassador in place in Niamey despite him being ordered by the coup leaders to go.
