French officials have denied accusations made by the junta in Niger that France plans to intervene militarily in the country. French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Catherine Colonna, called the accusations false and warned against falling into the trap of misinformation. Colonna also expressed concern over the violent and organized anti-French demonstrations taking place in Niamey. She emphasized France's priority of ensuring the security of its nationals and stated that it was possible to restore democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum to power. The French government strongly condemned the military coup and called for the restoration of constitutional order.
