General News of Monday, 28 August 2023Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Nigerien junta has reportedly ordered utility supply to the French embassy to be cut, according to reports by a regional security expert. In addition, any partners who continue to help the French in the process of supplying the goods and services will be considered “enemies of the sovereign people,” the reports added. The order to Nigelec, the power distributor and water distributor, Société d'Exploitation des Eaux du Niger (SEEN), comes days after the junta issued a quit order for the French ambassador. Even though the order was confirmed, the French government said it would not obey the junta's order and asked its envoy to remain in Niamey. The ambassador Sylvain Itte was given 48 hours to leave the territory, which time frame elapsed on Sunday.
