African Nation Kicks Out French Ambassador

Burkina Faso has ordered the French ambassador to leave the country, local authorities confirmed. The move comes after November unrest during which protesters attempted to storm France’s embassy while blaming Paris for its security problems.

Speaking to the AP News agency, government spokesman Jean-Emmanuel Ouedraogo said that French Ambassador Luc Hallade had been expelled, but did not provide any further details.

According to the sources of the French daily Le Monde, the foreign ministry of Burkina Faso, which has gone through two coups since January 2022, made the request to replace the French ambassador in a letter sent to Paris in late December.
