Technically thats a direct attack on French soil and an act of war. France would be justified if they sent in their military.

What if they cut it off from the outside of the embassy?

Doesn't matter. The embassy is literally no different tha Paris. Its French soil. With that said I doubt it comes to that.

Yeah but they're not touching it, just isolating it.

And cutting off a vital utility is no different than a direct attack.

All these colonialists need to get out of Africa and let nature reclaim the land. France was fine before it started draining Africa's resources.

I'm pretty sure France was in a constant state of warfare even before then.

I would say it's an indirect attack.

Who normally pays the utility bills for the French embassy? If it's the French government, what would happen if it failed to pay the embassy's bills? Wouldn't the Niger authorities be within their rights to cut off the supply -- sovereign territory or no sovereign territory?

The authorities as you call them follow the "might makes right" doctrine which trumps most laws and customs.

Clarification I'm looking for is whether cutting off utilities to an embassy is always considered under international law to constitute an "attack" on sovereign territory, or it could be accepted under some circumstances as simply penalizing a bad customer over unpaid bills!

Here's a crazy idea. Don't build an embassy where you aren't wanted and keep your Western nose out of the East and South. Is that so hard?

Yeah and the West has never done that, right? Just a totally unprovoked and unwarranted assault against innocent Westerners minding their own business.
