The French ambassador to Niger and other French diplomats are “literally being held hostage at the French embassy,” according to French president Emmanuel Macron.
France it is not the savior of the world, they should have left but are too colonialist and have too many business there to leave. If you are OK with what for France are trying to do here you have no stands to criticize what Russian did to Ukraine. Both were trying to justify the invasion of another country. Macron is even willing to kill his embassador to do it. There is no such things of “I disagree with the new head of state” and Europe should stop believe they have higher moral stand to choose which country is “democratic enough” to them, when you stop the colonialism and proxy wars maybe Africans can organize themselves.
After a embassador is expelled and had his visa canceled he is not an embassador anymore, he had a time to leave but he decides to stay and became at the best an illegal immigrant, at the worst an international agent.

I think Macron is an asshole, yet I don’t condone terrorism. These are not conflicting views.
Effectively sieging the embassy is terrorism, this isn’t about colonialism at all.
