Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The new Niger authorities have banned visits from the French Ambassador to the country, Sylvain Itte , to everyone except members of the French diplomatic mission. Al-Arabiya TV channel reports this, citing sources in the security services of the African state.

Earlier it was reported that in Niamey, cars with representatives of the EU and Spain were unable to enter the French Embassy. The delegation planned to talk with the ambassador.

As Regnum reported , on the night of July 26, a coup d’état took place in Niger. A group of military men came to power in the country and removed the President of the Republic, Mohamed Bazoum, from government .

On August 25, the new Niger authorities demanded that Sylvain Itte leave the country within 48 hours. They explained their decision by the actions of the French authorities, contrary to the interests of the African republic.

In turn, the French Foreign Ministry released a statement saying that Paris took note of this request. However, the department noted that the military, which came to power in Niger, does not have the authority to contact the ambassador with such a request.
