France has started evacuating its citizens from Niger after a military coup. According to French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, the first flight with over 260 individuals has left the capital, Niamey late on Tuesday.
France has sent three planes to Niamey to evacuate French and European citizens in the wake of a coup last week that toppled pro-Western leader Mohamed Bazoum.
"Considering the ongoing coup in Niger and the fact that the situation continues to be worrying, we decided to make sure that the French citizens who want to leave Niger can do so," Colonna said.
Italy also said it would send a special flight to repatriate its nationals from the capital Niamey. Spain's Defense Ministry announced preparations to evacuate more than 70 nationals.
