Macron Says French Ambassador Literally Being Held Hostage By Niger Junta
Macron Says French Ambassador Literally Being Held Hostage By Niger Junta - In a startling revelation, President Emmanuel Macron has condemned the situation unfolding in Niger, alleging that France’s ambassador to the country is essentially “literally being held hostage“ within the confines of the French embassy. Macron made these accusations during a press conference held in the eastern town of Semur-en-Auxois on Friday.
Macron went on to accuse the military rulers of Niger of exacerbating this dire situation by blocking food deliveries to the embassy, further escalating tensions between the two nations.
The ambassador is living off “military rations”, Macron told reporters. “As we speak, we have an ambassador and diplomatic staff who are literally being held hostage in the French embassy,” he said.
“They are preventing food deliveries,” he said, in an apparent reference to Niger’s new military rulers. “He is eating military rations.”
Niger’s military leaders demanded the departure of French Ambassador Sylvain Itte. This demand arose following the overthrow of President Mohamed Bazoum on July 26, a move that has left the nation in a state of uncertainty.
In an attempt to assert their authority, Niger’s military rulers issued a 48-hour ultimatum in August for Ambassador Itte to vacate the country. However, this ultimatum came and went, with Ambassador Itte remaining steadfastly in his position within the French embassy. The French government, in a clear show of defiance, refused to comply with the order and has yet to recognize the legitimacy of the military government.
