Emmanuel Macron “will not tolerate any attack against France and its interests” in Niger and will respond “immediately and intractably”, the Elysee Palace said on Sunday as thousands of people demonstrated outside the French embassy in Niamey before to be dispersed by tear gas canisters.
“Anyone attacking French nationals, the army, diplomats and rights of way would see France respond immediately and intractably. The President of the Republic will not tolerate any attack against France and its interests”, indicated the Elysée. “France also supports all regional initiatives” aimed at “restoring constitutional order” and the return of elected President Mohamed Bazoum, overthrown by putschists.
