France keeps losing influence in its former colonial African states: the French embassy in Niger’s capital has now closed – an extremely rare measure. The shutdown marks just the latest blow in a long series of political defeats for Paris in the region, including the withdrawal of all French troops from the country.

It's the whole of NATO." - said one Nigerien in response to the withdrawal of the last French soldiers from the country, bringing France's decade-long military operation in the Sahel to an end.

Very good interview about the Niger coup with Dr. Olayinka Ajala, at Leeds university, who's researched the country and the region for a long time.
