French ambassador to Niger leaves as relations nosedive after coup

28 Sept 2023  |  www.timeslive.co.za  |  English  |  Anti-French Sentiment

France's ambassador to Niger, Sylvain Itte, has returned to Paris following a month-long standoff with Niger's military junta, which had ordered his expulsion. This move comes after President Emmanuel Macron announced the withdrawal of both the ambassador and French troops from Niger. Relations between the two countries have deteriorated since the military coup in July, with increasing anti-French sentiment and protests in Niger. The situation reflects broader regional tensions in West Africa, where several former French colonies are now under military rule and have expelled French forces. Analysts warn that the withdrawal could hinder efforts to combat Islamist insurgencies and potentially increase Russian influence in the region.

The article highlights the interconnectedness of settler and state violence and the limited impact of current sanctions. The US administration's actions are seen as a political move to balance support for Israel with domestic and international criticism.

Niger: Former President Mohamed Bazoum, the 'Cumbersome Shield' of the Junta

12 Jul 2024  |  www.la-croix.com  |  French  |  International Relations

Former Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum remains under house arrest by the junta that overthrew him a year ago. His situation has worsened, with his presidential immunity lifted and potential charges of treason looming. The junta accuses him of plotting with foreign leaders, including France's Emmanuel Macron, for an armed intervention. Bazoum's legal team decries the lack of due process, while international calls for his release, notably from France, have been ignored. The junta, led by General Tiani, remains defiant, rejecting any return to previous regimes and framing their rule as a break from neocolonialism.

Cambodians Brace for One-Sided Election

15 Jul 2023  |  www.voacambodia.com  |  English  |  Human Rights

Cambodia's upcoming election on July 23 faces widespread criticism from Western countries, the UN, and pro-democracy activists, who argue it will not be free and fair. Prime Minister Hun Sen, running on his record, dismisses these criticisms. The opposition, particularly the Candlelight Party, has been barred from participating, leading to concerns about a one-sided election. The ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) is expected to win all seats, continuing its long-standing dominance. The election is seen as a potential transition of power from Hun Sen to his son, Hun Manet, though the exact timing remains uncertain.
