Military officers in Niger deposed elected President Mohamed Bazoum in July and later ordered French officials to leave the country, an order that France has refused to heed, saying that Niger’s junta is not the country’s legitimate authority. The ministry said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that Stephane Jullien, counsellor for French citizens abroad, was arrested last Friday, and called for his “immediate release.”
