Niger’s rulers on Friday gave Germany’s ambassador there 48 hours to quit the country, according to a foreign ministry letter, a copy of which AFP has obtained.

Faced with “the refusal of the German ambassador in Niamey to respond to an invitation” from the ministry for a meeting Friday and “other actions of the German government contrary to the interests of Niger”, the authorities had decided to ask the ambassador to leave, it said.
