Niger’s new military rulers have accused French President Emmanuel Macron of “blatant interference”. Colonel Amadou Abdramane said Macron’s recent comments “constitute further blatant interference in Niger’s domestic affairs”. Meanwhile, Macron said nations like Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger could have faced extinction without France’s military operations in the Sahel region. This comes as thousands of people gathered outside France’s military base in Niger to demand its troops leave. The demonstrators held up banners proclaiming, “French army, leave our country”. 0:00 - INTRODUCTION 1:58 - “NO EXISTENCE OF MALI, BURKINA FASO, NIGER WITHOUT…” 2:39 - “FRANCE MUST AND WILL LEAVE BECAUSE NIGER IS NOT ITS HOME” 3:45 - NIGER TIGHTENS GRIP ON FRENCH AMBASSADOR n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
