According to multiple French media
According to multiple French media reports, France has begun negotiations with Niger's military regarding the possible departure of French troops from the West African country, following the deterioration of relations after the July 26, 2023 coup that saw the ousting of Nigerien President Mohammed Bazoum. Former French ambassador to Mali and Senegal Nicolas Normand confirmed the news, telling some news outlets that, according to his sources, talks were underway between the French and Niger forces to "partially" evacuate soldiers. Normand added that his sources, who wish to remain anonymous, stressed that the talks should not be interpreted as a recognition of the coup leaders, but rather as a "technical" dialogue between the two militaries.
French newspaper Le Monde also said neither the number of French soldiers involved nor the timing of their departure remains unknown, and that the talks are not being held with coup leaders, but with regular army officials with whom France has long been cooperating. France has been at odds with Niger's new military authorities since it refused to recognise the July 26 coup that deposed French ally President Mohamed Bazoum. The coup was seen as another major blow to French influence in the region, following the military takeovers in Mali in 2020 and Burkina Faso in 2022.
French President Emmanuel Macron had until now rejected calls by the military junta for the departure of French troops currently in Niger, saying Bazoum, currently held prisoner in the country, remains Niger’s legitimate leader. As a result, the coup leaders have demanded that the French ambassador and military leave Niger, and thousands of people have been rallying in the capital Niamey for days to support the new regime's uncompromising stance against the former colonial power.
