Niger’s military administration has cut off water and electricity to the French Embassy in the capital Niamey. Not even food deliveries to the French embassy are allowed, as per reports on August 27. The Nigerien coup leaders have reportedly taken similar action at the French consulate in Zinder. ECOWAS Chairman told Islamic clerics who met Niger’s junta that the 3-year transition proposed by the coup leaders was unacceptable. Meanwhile, Pro-coup Nigeriens have threatened to storm the French Embassy and the French military base, if French troops and its envoy did not leave the country.
