Protesters' Threats Target French Military Base and Embassy in Niger

Supporters of the military administration in Niger rallied near the French military base in Niamey, protesting against the presence of French troops and accusing France of interfering in the country's affairs. Protesters threatened to storm the French Embassy and military base if French troops and the ambassador do not leave the country. This comes after the military administration issued an ultimatum for the French ambassador to leave, claiming that the French government's actions were contrary to Niger's interests. France maintains about 1,500 personnel in Niger as part of a counter-insurgency force in the Sahel region.

International Efforts Rescue Americans Escaping Sudan's Chaos.

American citizens stranded in Sudan due to ongoing conflict have criticized the US State Department for not providing enough assistance in evacuating them. While the US government has evacuated its own personnel, it has advised private citizens to make their own arrangements due to the security situation and airport closure. Many Americans have had to rely on other countries' evacuation operations to leave Sudan. The French Embassy carried out a separate evacuation for French citizens, and foreigners of other nationalities were welcome. The US is now working to develop a process that would allow Americans to leave Sudan overland.
