France introduced the closure of its embassy in Niger after months of worsening relations between the 2 nations. Diplomatic sources advised RFI that the French illustration “is not in a position to operate usually or perform its missions”.
It’s a very uncommon determination which illustrates a brand new episode within the progressive rupture between Paris and Niamey. Beginning with the assault on the French embassy a couple of days after the July 26 coup, as recalled by diplomatic sources contacted by RFI.
In the meantime, French troops deployed in Niger should depart the nation by December 22, in response to declarations from the junta days in the past.
