Coup leaders in Niger are starting to point some fingers.
According to the coup leaders, France has violated its air space and is now working to destabilize the country.
After making the allegations, Colonel Major Amadou Abdramane did not provide a single shred of evidence to back up his claim.
Prove It
Earlier this week, coup leadership claimed that French forces had freed “captured terrorists,” among several other claims.
Abdramane claimed, “We are witnessing a real plan of destabilization of our country, orchestrated by French forces.”

France has denied all allegations.
The French Foreign Ministry stated, “No attack against a Nigerien camp took place.”
Another French official confirmed that “no terrorist has been freed by French forces.”
Niger is a complete and utter mess, now realizing its ninth coup in just three years.
