STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSNIAMEY - Tens of thousands of protesters gathered outside a French military base in Niger's capital Niamey on Saturday demanding that its troops leave in the wake of a military coup that has widespread popular support but which Paris refuses to recognise.
Anti-French sentiment has risen in Niger since the coup but soured further last week when France ignored the junta's order for its ambassador, Sylvain Itte, to leave. Police have been instructed to expel him, the junta said. "We are ready to sacrifice ourselves today, because we are proud," said demonstrator Yacouba Issoufou."They plundered our resources and we became aware. So they're going to get out."France had cordial relations with ousted President Mohamed Bazoum and has about 1,500 troops stationed in Niger.
