France refuses junta's demand to pull ambassador out of Niger | DW News

In Niger, a deadline is looming for the French ambassador to leave the country. The military junta has demanded the envoy leave by today. France has refused, saying it doesn't recognize the military-installed government.
Tens of thousands of people have rallied in the capital Niamey in support of the coup leaders. It's now one month since the democratically elected president was deposed. The junta has defied crippling international sanctions, and a threat by regional body ECOWAS to forcefully intervene.
