Paris clarifies Niger military role
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barré denied his country’s involvement in the Niger military council's rebellion, affirming that the Nigerien authorities' accusations against France of supporting the rebels and inciting defected soldiers are untrue and lack evidence. The statements came after the Nigerien military council pointed to a network led by France that allegedly conspired in the attempted coup thwarted a week earlier. Niger also announced its intent to pursue international legal action against France. Barré confirmed that these allegations are part of ongoing efforts to hold France responsible for unrelated incidents, amidst deteriorating relations following the withdrawal of French troops from the country and reduced security cooperation.
