French President Emmanuel Macron has issued a stern warning against attacks on French interests in Niger following the military coup. The warning comes amidst protests outside the French embassy in Niamey, where demonstrators expressed discontent with France's policies and support for the military junta. In response to Paris suspending aid over the coup, thousands of pro-junta protesters gathered, burning French flags and expressing support for the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary outfit. Niger has also suspended the export of gold and uranium to France, further escalating tensions between the two nations. The ECOWAS has given Niger a one-week ultimatum to reinstate the ousted president, threatening to take measures to restore constitutional order. Meanwhile, the Nigerien military authorities have accused France of preparing to stage an armed intervention to free the ousted President of Niger Mohamed Bazoum. Kremlin has called for 'restraint from all parties' in Niger and a rapid restoration of the rule of law in the country. Niger Prime Minister said Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum, who was seized during a military coup together with his family, is in fine condition and expects positive developments to take place. #niger #france #westafrica #coup #worldnews 0:00 - INTRODUCTION 2:11 - “PLEASE STAY OUT OF OUR BUSINESS” 4:28 - NIGER SUSPENDS GOLD AND URANIUM SUPPLY TO FRANCE n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
