A U.S. State Department spokesperson said Niger's Foreign Ministry has told the U.S. government that images of letters circulating online calling for the departure of certain American diplomatic personnel were not issued by the ministry.
"No such request has been made to the U.S. government," the spokesperson said after AFP reported that Niger had given the U.S. ambassador 48 hours to leave the African country.
AFP said on Friday it had deleted an earlier post that said Niger's military rulers had given the German and U.S. ambassadors 48 hours to leave, as the statements the report was based on had been declared "unauthentic by authorities."
Earlier on Friday, Niger's Foreign Ministry issued a statement ordering French ambassador Sylvain Itte to leave the country within 48 hours.
