Troops who say they have seized power in Niger accused France on Thursday of landing a military plane in defiance of their orders to close the country’s borders.
“The French partner bypassed (the decision) on closing land and air borders in order to land an A401-type military aircraft at Niamey international airport this morning at 6:30 am,” the coup leaders said in a statement, demanding “once and for all that measures (taken by the junta) be strictly upheld.”
