 France withdrawing troops, recalling diplomats from Niger on humiliating terms. France's erroneous policy in Africa has driven Paris into a desperate situation where it is being compelled to recall its diplomats and withdraw its troops from Niger on humiliating terms. Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally Faction in the Lower House of France's parliament said, It was not a solution. She said in an interview with the France inter-radio station when asked to comment on French President Emmanuel Macron's decision to recall the ambassador and withdraw troops from Niger. Actually Macron had no choice. This is sad because the way this is unfolding gives the impression that we are being forcibly kicked out of Africa. But there was no other choice. We are recalling our ambassador and withdrawing our troops on humiliating terms. This is a serious fiasco for French diplomacy. According to Le Pen, the French leader had apparently been calculating that the Nigerian military rebels would not succeed in holding power this long and that the economic community of West African states would eventually intervene militarily in the country to restore constitutional order. But nothing like this happened in reality. An analysis of the situation shows that he had no other option but to announce the withdrawal. She said, In late July, a group of military rebels in Niger announced the removal of President Mohammed Bazoum. The mutineers then established the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland headed by General Abdulrahman Chiani to run the country. In early August, the Nigerian rebels denounced military agreements with France and demanded that the French military contingent be withdrawn from the country. Thank you for watching.
