Niger's junta has demanded that the head of the United Nations diplomatic mission there leave the country within 72 hours, accusing the U.N. of excluding Niger from its General Assembly last month, APA reports citing Reuters.
The army officers who seized power in a coup in July did not have a representative at the meeting of world leaders in New York.
A U.N. spokesperson in Niamey said she had no immediate comment.
In a statement dated Oct. 10, Niger's foreign ministry accused the U.N. of using "underhanded manoeuvres" instigated by France to prevent its full participation in the U.N. General Assembly and in subsequent meetings of U.N. agencies that were held in Vienna and in Riyadh.
