 Niger pro-coup protesters attack French embassy. On Monday, July 25th, 2023, supporters of the coup that overthrew the government of Niger attacked the French embassy in Miami. The protesters threw stones and set fire to vehicles at the embassy compound. They also chanted slogans calling for the expulsion of French forces from Niger. The attack was condemned by the French government, which said it would not be intimidated by the coup supporters. The French ambassador to Niger, Denis Gower, said that the attack was an act of aggression against France and that it would not go unanswered. The coup in Niger was the latest in a series of military takeovers in West Africa. In recent years, there have been coups in Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso. The coups have raised concerns about the stability of the region and the threat of terrorism. The attack on the French embassy is a sign of the growing anger among some Nigerians towards the French government. The French have been in Niger for decades, and they are seen by some as interfering in the country's affairs. The coup supporters also believe that the French are not doing enough to help Niger fight terrorism. The attack on the French embassy is a serious escalation of the situation in Niger. It is unclear what the long-term consequences of the attack will be, but it is likely to further destabilize the country and the region.
