How the protesters besieged the French military base
As can be seen in this aerial video sent by the Nigerian army to BBC Hausa, thousands of protestors filled the French army camp on Saturday.
It is expected that many of them will come out again this Sunday to fulfill the promise they took to continue to sit until the soldiers leave Niger.
France has at least 1,500 troops in two bases in Niger, which it has deployed to fight jihadist militants in the Sahel region.
There are German and Nigerien troops in the Escadrille camp in Yamai.
