Question 14222 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr. Karim Ben Cheikh alerts the Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs to the situation of the French community in Niger or evacuated from Niger in the summer of 2023. Mr. the deputy relies on numerous concordant elements making it possible to deduce that the Government and the President of the Republic decided during a defense council the total closure of French diplomatic assets in Niger, a decision sufficiently rare and unprecedented to that he considers that the national representation can be informed of the reasons and developments which led to this. He emphasizes that at no time was he questioned or consulted about this decision and that the French community on site or repatriated this summer has not received official recommendations since August 2023. The MP asks in what way the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs is taking into account This perspective will ensure French people in Niger have access to public services and in particular to procedures relating to civil status, school and university scholarships, the issuance of passports and national identity cards and access to solidarity or disability allowances. He questions the Minister about the knowledge that her services have of the number of French people currently on the territory of the Republic of Niger. Finally he asks the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to what extent the La Fontaine high school, an establishment directly managed by the agency for French education abroad, may be affected by this decision to close diplomatic and consular services and questions her about the continuity of distance learning courses for the benefit of students registered for this school year as well as the prospects for the start of the school year next.
