France Rejects Niger’s Allegations Over Failed Coup As 'Pure Fantasy' | Firstpost Africa | N18G
Watch this video as Firstpost explains how France denied allegations made by Niger over the failed coup attempt. Tensions between Niger and France have reached a new high following a violent military mutiny in the capital, Niamey. Niger’s military rulers directly accused French President Emmanuel Macron and his government of instigating and sustaining the failed takeover attempt at key strategic sites, including Air Base 101. Niamey claims to have gathered evidence detailing foreign collusion and reserves the right to pursue international legal action. French officials swiftly dismissed the accusations. Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot labelled the claims ‘pure fantasy,’ asserting that France possessed neither the intent nor the capability to organise such an operation. Neighbouring West African nations named by Niger's state media also denied backing the attackers. Analysts suggest General Tiani’s government is leveraging unverified claims to boost domestic unity as Niger solidifies its geopolitical pivot towards Russia.
