How the coup affected hundreds of Nigerian students who plan to study in France
Hundreds of students of the Republic of Niger who hope to join French universities have been in misery due to the lack of visas after the French government closed its embassy in Yamai due to the political situation in the country.
NIAMEY, NIGER - Since the day after the coup on July 26, 2023, France has closed its embassy in Yamai after some protesters in support of the army that overthrew the elected President Mohamed Bazoum, attacked the French embassy.
People attacked with the aim of protesting what they called the interference in the country's internal affairs in an effort to continue to colonize the country.
However, three weeks after the incident, hundreds of students who have been admitted to French universities are worried because of not getting a visa, as the President of the Nigerien Residents of France, Adam Oumarou, told the Voice of America.
According to its spokesperson, Mouloul Effred Alassan, the National Students' Union, USN, is following up on this matter to find a solution for the future of hundreds of students who are in a situation that may be due to the strained relations between France and Niger.
The decision to close Niger's borders by the ECOWAS group as part of the series of sanctions it imposed on the country after the military coup and the decision to close the airspace taken by the CNSP Council to prevent any attempt to attack the President of the coup are things The analysts believe that if this trend continues, it may affect the education of the country's students in foreign universities.
