TEHRAN, Sep. 03 (MNA) – Thousands of people have rallied in the Nigerien capital, Niamey, demanding that France withdraw its ambassador and troops from the West African country.

The protesters gathered near a military base housing French soldiers on Saturday after a call by several civic organizations hostile to the French military presence. They held up banners proclaiming, “French army, leave our country.”
