Planes return Niger evacuees to Europe – BBC News


Flights evacuating Europeans from Niger have arrived in France and Italy.

France began evacuating its citizens from the West African nation amid anti-French sentiment following last week’s coup – 262 people arrived in Paris early on Wednesday.

The coup has prompted demonstrations against the former colonial power, with the French embassy coming under attack.

Niger has been a key Western ally in the fight against jihadist extremism in the Sahel. Both France and the US have military bases there.
