France defies ultimatum for ambassador to leave Niamey

France's ambassador has remained in Niger despite being given a 48-hour deadline to leave the country last Friday, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed in a defiant speech.
Ambassador Sylvain Itte had been ordered to go amid rapidly deteriorating bilateral ties.

But hours after the coup leaders' deadline had passed, the president said he "applauds" Mr Itte for staying put.
