France would only redeploy troops in Niger in coordination with Pres Bazoum -Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday that if France ever had to redeploy troops in Niger, it would only do so in coordination with President Mohammed Bazoum, the only leader of the country that France recognises.

"If we ever redeploy... I would do so only at the request of President Bazoum," Macron told a news conference at the close of a two-day summit of G20 leaders in India.
