Niger's military rulers revoke French ambassador's immunity, order expulsion

Niger's military leaders have informed the French government that diplomatic immunity has been removed from French Ambassador to Niger, Sylvain Itte. And have instructed authorities to proceed with "eviction":
The military leaders who removed Niger's president from power on July 26, told the French ambassador last week that he had 48 hours to leave after he refused to meet with the Junta appointed Foreign Minister.

"The "Aryan Majesty" is evidently the Aryan power or state, political, social and religious. It is simply the Aryan greatness and supremacy. ... For the infidels whom it conquers are creatures of the Aura-Mainyas [Angry Mind] and the Daevas [Divas/Demons]....And, of course, if the greatness, splendour and prosperity of the state were once conceived of as a somewhat divine, which was efficient to overcome enemies and the spirits and powers of evil, it could with equal reason and sense be deemed to have the power to conquer epidemics as injurious to the state as war. And, even, as these make it unprosperous, the annihilation of the sickness was necessary to the existence of the majesty. The existence of one involved the annihilation of the other." [Lectures of the Arya, Albert Pike, 1930, The Aryan Majesty] “WHENEVER those states which have been acquired as stated have been accustomed to live under their own laws and in freedom, there are three courses for those who wish to hold them: the first is to ruin them, the next is to reside there in person, the third is to permit them to live under their own laws, drawing a tribute, and establishing within it an oligarchy which will keep it friendly to you. Because such a government, being created by the prince, knows that it cannot stand without his friendship and interest, and does its utmost to support him and therefore he who would keep a city accustomed to freedom will hold it more easily by the means of its own citizens than in any other way.” [The Prince, Nicolo Machiavelli, CH.

I see it like this if Africa doesn't have they soldiers in their countries they should not have they soldiers in African country _ get those demons out of Africa especially France _ much love for my African brothers and sisters _ ❤👍👋🇭🇹

Wonderful accurate reporting - AJE is great.

[@gibriltouray8533]

This is disgusting. there is no power vacuum in Niger. Someone is in control. they ask France to leave, yet France is refusing. AU is quiet

[@irvin701]

The AU doesn't recognise a military junta in power. No sensible international body would accept that.

[@sandroofficial8094]

AU is a puppet of the west

[@JuanDiegoPinillos]

The Europeans like to say there is a power vacuum when they're not in charge. it's how they made their wealth, stealing and enslaving others.

[@merlewilliams7629]

AU and ACOWAS are racconing all over Africa being puppets for their Master. Killing their own people for money and power.

[@justiceolaleye5722]

In their own country, they have no legitimate right? The French are mad.

[@danielm.kasumadu4076]

We hope the junta has a long term plan for the recovery of the people and not just being hysterical ...when France leaves there will be no one to blame again

[@blackseed9293]

Then the Europeans will use all their Black slaves to sanction and embargo Niger. Then the Europeans will try to block all economic relations with the world like they did to Haiti.

[@Meku-tg6sx]

It's a nonsensical argument of not recognizing the current military leaders as an excuse for not leaving the country because the government they recognize is no more. Their own safety is now in jeopardy and there will not be clearity on accountability if some tragedy happens. It is just a desperate move by the French government clinging on to any possible link they could establish before it is too late for their next move. It is wise to act sensibly and leave before any tragedy happens to its diplomatic envoy and serve as a bad blood reminder in the foreseeable future!

[@samsmith2635]

Its equally nonsensical to support a Military coup and the arrest of your elected Government... no one will invest in Niger if it insists on instability.

[@munemu82]

Well, if any tragedy happens its their faults, anyways I am sure their colonial administration did more than worse of any possible tragedy

[@Thunderlight17]

Those who called themselves as so-called "first class citizens " did not want to leave the poorest continent in the world. This is amazing France most leave.

[@sebastianondogaokot9134]

Africa is not poor but is the most resourced continent on earth. West have stealing from us for centuries and that’s why France doesn’t want to leave Africa.

[@alexstepanov5394]

The poorest continent is so poor because of 'first class citizens' and vice versa

[@the_lost_navigator]

Not the poorest continent if you look at what lay beneath the surface - that's what France really wants ;)

[@kathelineblain7224]

The garden doesn’t want to leave. Imagine that

[@bernardm.3205]

It's not the poorest that's why they don't want to leave Mr. high iq!

[@dianablackmack8415]

The French also said they wouldnt return Africas stolen loot bc it belongs to France bc they can keep it safe but Africa can borrow their own things at a cost. Mad

[@ScoutIntermediary]

If Niger is indeed as economically challenged as it has been described, one might naturally question the rationale behind France's apparent reluctance to withdraw. The perplexity arises from the juxtaposition of a nation grappling with poverty and the persistence of a former colonial power in maintaining its presence. What compels the French to stay entrenched in a country facing dire economic circumstances? Is it a matter of strategic interest, access to resources, or a complex interplay of historical ties? Such a conundrum forces us to delve deeper into the motives behind this situation.

[@celestinedzotefe5940]

They said Africans are poor, now leave our poor countries too You don't want to leave because of the resources.

[@Queen731.]

As Chimamanda Adiche said about the behaviour of French officials towards African travellers, France still thinks this is the 18th Century. France has no mandate to say that Bazoum MUST be restored immediately. At the end of the day, he will leave because.

[@user-xn3me4lf5k]

The word of God tells us that there is time and season to everything, so the colonial masters should understand that what is happening in Africa now is divine, therefore they should allow Africa to be truly free. What happened to Pharoah?

[@qqaamam788]

You cannot ignore the request of the entire military of a country as non legitimate and say that you only recognise one man who has been ousted. You can see those making the decisions in France are clearly out of their minds.

[@abumahmoud9845]

Mr Ambassador France is aware of everything just it is doing things intentionally but it will lose the battle as Nigeriens remain United and people are in support of new authorities.

any Niger people even the poorest of them have the legitimacy to remove the French ambassador's immunity and ask him to leave his country, by the simple fact that this person or junta whatever you want to name them are from niger in their own house
