The Pan-Africanist Franco-Beninois activist Kemi Seba, known for his virulent positions against the "neo-colonialism" of Western powers in Africa, arrives at the airport of Niamey, Niger, where he is to stay for a few days. "The people of Niger asked that the French army leave as soon as possible, Macron in his colonial arrogance says the French army will leave by the end of the year, as if it was up to him to decide when the colonist should pack up and go", he says on his arrival. French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France would soon withdraw its ambassador from Niger, with French troops leaving by the year's end. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
