France's ambassador to Niger is still in the country despite an ultimatum from coup leaders to leave his post, French President Emmanuel Macron said Monday. The decision comes against a backdrop of anti-French protests over the weekend.
During a foreign policy speech to ambassadors gathered in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that French envoy Sylvain Itte was still in Niger's capital Niamey, despite being given a 48-hour deadline to leave the country last Friday.
