Our ambassador will not leave Niger - Macron
The French ambassador in Niger will continue to stay in the country despite the pressure from the military that made the coup, said President Emmanuel Macron.
Macron in his speech to foreign ambassadors emphasized his support for the deposed president of Niger, Mohamed Bazoum who said he will not resign.
According to Macron, this step shows that Bazoum is a strong person.
The 48-hour deadline given to the French ambassador, Sylvian Itte to leave Niger has already expired.
Macron added that France will not change its position of supporting the military coup in Niger and showing its support for Bazoum.
On the 26th of July, the army under the leadership of General Tchiani overthrew the government of President Bazoum.
