3:46Now PlayingFrance's position in Niger has become even more precarious, with the passing of a deadline for the French ambassador to leave. Niger's military leaders had given the French envoy until Sunday to leave. But Paris has refused to withdraw its personnel, saying it doesn't recognize the junta's authority.
Demonstrators gathered outside the French military base in Niger's capital Niamey on Sunday, calling for the soldiers to leave. Some were waving Russian flags. Niger is a former colony of France, which still has some 1,500 troops based there. It's now been more than a month since Niger's military overthrew the democratically elected president.
