Niger: France Backs Down, To Withdraw Envoy, Troops by adenigga(op): 6:58am On Sep 25, 2023
President Emmanuel Macron has said that France would soon withdraw its ambassador from Niger Republic, followed by its military contingent.

The colonial power had kicked against the coupists who overthrew President Mohamed Bazoum of Niger Republic in July 2023.

The country also insisted on the reinstatement of Bazoum.

France has about 1,500 soldiers in Niger as part of an anti-jihadist deployment in the Sahel region.

In the wake of the coup, France had said its troops would remain in the West African nation despite hostilities by the junta.

Also, Niger’s military leaders had told the French ambassador, Sylvain Itte, to leave the country.

However, a 48-hour ultimatum for him to leave, issued in August, passed with him still in place as the French government refused to comply, or to recognise the military regime as legitimate.

However, in an interview with French television on Sunday evening, Macron said “France has decided to withdraw its ambassador. In the next hours, our ambassador and several diplomats will return to France.”

He added that military cooperation was over and French troops would withdraw in “the months and weeks to come” with a full pull out by the end of the year.

“In the weeks and months to come, we will consult with the putschists, because we want this to be done peacefully,” he added.

France didn’t read what IBB said that if he is sleeping and they wake him up that Yorubas have declared war he will go back to sleep.
They believed in the initial gragra of Tinubu saying he will restore democracy in Niger by military means.

That military ruler whose country is an ally of Niger has already said that if ECOWAS fires just one bullet in Niger, his forces will storm abuja and remove Ebola tilimpoo and install the rightfully/democratically elected candidate in 2023 elections. Tilimpoo knows they stand by their word, and they dont talk more than once, if at all u hear em talk

One thing I learned about Foreign countries is that they don't have MISPLACED PRIORITIES like what we are known for in this part of the world. They always choose their poisons wisely!

I didn't go through down.

But going by the HeadLine: France Backs Down, To Withdraw Troops From Niger.

I keep saying this; Consistency, steadfastness, firm, rigid, mean, brutal, and lots more are just what you and I need in life to push through.


You see that Rolls Royce Rashford crashed after ManU won Burnley few days ago, we will cruise it but we will not crash it.

The African re-awakening has to continue, unfortunately its coming from the boots because our democratically elected leaders are nothing but pawns in the Westernern chess game. France has no natural resource but has ruthlessley plundered Africa for decades and continues to do so. The scale is so bewildering even for the 21st century. The Congo has to do same and expel Belgium & their co-looters.
The irony with Niger is Americans also have a base in Niger but those ones have small sense, they run it in partnership with Nigeriens

France should let Africa be,
France should let Africa make good use of her resources,
France should stop placing their puppets as president to do what ever they like with African resources.
