00:00 The rebels who took power in Niger have decided to deprive the French ambassador, Sylvain
00:13 Hit, of his diplomatic immunity.
00:15 This information was reported by the Arabiya television channel, and it raises serious
00:21 questions as to the relationship between the new Nigerian authorities and France.
00:25 Local media have stated that the current authorities are asking the security forces
00:30 to take all the necessary measures to expel Mr. Hit from the Republic.
00:34 However, the details of the precise moment of his expulsion have not yet been disclosed.
00:39 This decision follows a previous request from the rebels demanding that the French ambassador
00:44 leave the country within a 48-hour period.
00:46 The reasons invoked were the actions of Paris, which was contrary to the interests of Niger.
00:52 Political tension in Africa is not limited to Niger.
00:56 In another country, Gabon, a similar situation is currently taking place.
01:01 The Gabonese army appointed General Bryce Ngema as head of the Republic on a term
01:06 announcing the dissolution of institutions of power and the cancellation of the results
01:10 of the presidential elections.
01:11 This decision comes after the controversial re-election of President Ali Bongo Ondemba
01:16 for a third mandate.
01:18 These events raise concerns about the political stability of the region.
01:22 Africa is often faced with political and socio-economic challenges, and these recent
01:28 seizures of power by the rebels in Niger and the dissolution of institutions in Gabon
01:31 only add to the uncertainties.
01:33 France, as a former colonial power with close ties to these countries,
01:38 finds itself at the center of these developments.
01:40 Paris' actions are closely scrutinized and are considered to have a significant impact
01:45 on the regional political situation.
01:47 It is important to emphasize that this information is based on media reports
01:52 and local sources.
01:53 It is essential to closely follow the evolution of the situation and to obtain official statements
01:59 from the parties concerned to obtain a complete picture of reality on the ground.
02:03 For the moment, the eyes are turned towards Niger and Gabon, where the new authorities
02:08 are trying to consolidate their power and to respond to the challenges they are faced with.
02:12 The political stability of these countries is crucial not only for their citizens, but
02:17 also for the region as a whole.
