The French authorities rejected the accusations of the rebels who seized power in Niger, in violation of the airspace of the African state and the “liberation of terrorists.”
A flight committed in the morning on Wednesday, which, according to the rebels, “violated Niger’s airspace, was agreed and coordinated by Niger’s army.”
“Not a single terrorist was liberated by French forces,” the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Defense of France said in a joint statement of the Ministry of Defense of France.
earlier the rebels accused France of violating the airspace of the African country. According to the military that controls the authorities in Niger, the French military aircraft flew out in the morning from the capital of Chad – Njamen – and, when Niger entered the airspace, interrupted contact with the air traffic service. The plane was claimed in the airspace of the African country for more than four hours.
Niger closed his airspace on August 6, fearing foreign intervention.
