France says it will start evacuating French and European citizens from Niger as the crisis
00:06
in the country deepens, despite a mediation mission by Chad's president on Monday.
00:11
Idris Deby met with General Abdur Rahman Chiani, the head of the Presidential Guards Unit,
00:16
who declared himself Niger's new ruler on Friday.
00:20
He also met ousted leader Mohamed Bazoum, producing the first photos of Bazoum since
00:25
last week's military coup.
00:28
The junta has accused former colonial power France of plotting a military intervention
00:33
to reinstate Bazoum, allegations Paris denies.
00:37
But angry protests outside the French embassy have led to fears French citizens and interests
00:43
could be targets.
00:45
Regional group ECOWAS has imposed sanctions, warning coup leaders that it reserves the
00:50
right to use force if they don't cede power within a week.
00:55
But the military regimes of neighboring Mali and Burkina Faso have vowed to back the new
01:00
regime in the AME, saying any military intervention would be considered a declaration of war.
