France will end its military presence in Niger and pull its ambassador, Macron says

French President Emmanuel Macron, pictured in July in Paris, says France will end its military presence in Niger and pull its ambassador out of the country after its democratically elected president was deposed in a coup.

The change comes after Niger's democratically elected president was deposed in a coup. French troops pulled out of neighboring Mali and Burkina Faso in recent years after coups there.
