Macron Says Embassy In Niger On Military Rations, Envoy Hostage; Prayer Outside Base For French Exit

President Emmanuel Macron has alleged that France’s envoy in Niger has been taken hostage by the junta in Niamey. This comes just two weeks after Ambassador Sylvain Itte’s accreditation was revoked. Thousands of Muslims in Niger gathered at the French military base on September 15 to hold prayer for the departure of French troops. Meanwhile, Burkina Faso’s military junta has ordered the French embassy’s defence attache to leave the country due to “subversive“ behaviour. #niger #nigercoup. #france #macron Video: AP/AFP/Reuters n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
