MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Niger’s military-appointed Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine on Tuesday accused France of plotting to assassinate ministers and other public figures in the country.

The former French colony saw an elite military force depose the French-backed president, Mohamed Bazoum, in late July. The rebels demanded that France call back its ambassador and withdraw troops from Niger's soil.
Multiple protests have taken place outside the French military base in Niamey since the coup, with protesters demanding that Niger's former colonial master end its military presence in the country.
