WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Niger's Foreign Ministry has told the U.S.
government that images of letters circulating online calling for the departure of
certain American diplomatic personnel were not issued by the ministry, a U.S.
State Department spokesperson said."No such request has been made to the U.S. government," the spokesperson
said after AFP reported that Niger had given the U.S. ambassador 48 hours to
leave the African country.The United States has been pressing for a diplomatic resolution of the crisis
that erupted on July 26 when Niger military officers seized power, deposed
President Mohamed Bazoum and placed him under house arrest.
That’s cute. The Niger Foreign Ministry thinks it’s still in charge of the country.
EC
Conflicting ‘news’ reports. Hmmmm
Conflicting US/Niger government reports. Hmmmm
I sorta kinda wonder who to believe.
Do I trust Reuters or The Jerusalem Post (via Reuters)?
Do I trust the American Government or the Niger Government?
To quote Slim Pickens in Blazing Saddles; “I am conflicted”
