The French variant of the article says that there is only military rations left to eat at the embassy.
But your post kind of implies that the French embassador is "force fed" military rations? This is a very weird way to translate it.
Are they being held hostage though?
The article is a little weird. This is my interpretation, need to look for other sources.
President says that the ambassador is "taken hostage, literally".
Military in Niger wants him out of the country, but French government says that his work is too valuable, he must stay.
Military says " OK, but he can't leave the embassy, Persona Non Grata".
Technically the ambassador has either choice of leaving the country or staying inside the embassy. Food is not delivered anymore, leaving him with military rations to eat.
Thanks!
