Let's say that in response to the French destruction of the Ivorian Air Force, and the resulting clashes between Ivorian citizens and the French military, during which French troops clash with rioters in an independent country, the Ivorian government demands the French leave, and launches military attacks and incites popular rioting to get them out if they don't. Perhaps he even tries to rally the rebels in an attempt to drive the invaders out, a la the truce between the Nationalists and the Communists in China when a Japanese invasion interrupted the Chinese Civil War.
