The French ambassador to Niger and other French diplomats are “literally being held hostage at the French embassy,” according to French president Emmanuel Macron.
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.
