France will remove its 1,500 troops from Niger by the end of the year following the country's military coup earlier this year, reports Sky News.
The African country's democratically elected president was ousted in July, with the ensuing Western sanctions pushing food prices up by 60% and triggering 10-hour-long electricity cuts.
France had previously stationed thousands of troops in the Sahl region at the request of African leaders to fight jihadist groups.
It had maintained 1,500 of them in Niger since the coup and had repeatedly refused an order by the new junta for its ambassador to leave.
Tensions between France and Niger, a former French colony, have mounted in recent weeks, and President Macron previously described how diplomats were surviving on military rations as they holed up in the embassy.
