Niger, government deadline for withdrawal of French troops from the country

  The government of Niger has set a deadline for the withdrawal of French troops from this country. According to the report released by the AAA on Wednesday, the government of Niger has announced that French troops will have until September 3 to leave Niger. Tension between France and Niger has intensified in recent days. The Niger government had given the French ambassador 48 hours to leave Niger. But France has announced that Niger's military government does not have the authority to request the departure of the French ambassador, and that such a request should only be made by officials of Niger's former government. Following the coup in Niger, Paris called for the return of the country's ousted president, Mohamed Bazoum, and stressed that it would support the efforts of the West African Economic Community (ECOWAS) to overthrow Niger's military government. Elise also did not recognize the decision of the current government of Niger in early August to cancel a number of military agreements with France and said: these agreements have been signed with the legal authorities of Niger.
