Thousands in Niger demand the withdrawal of French soldiers


Niamey (Niger) (AFP) – Waving flags, some Nigerien, some Russian, thousands rally in Niamey to demand the withdrawal of French troops from Niger. The west African country has seen a weekend of demonstrations after its new military regime accused France of “blatant interference”, following comments made by President Emmanuel Macron in support of his ousted counterpart Mohamed Bazoum.
