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.

No, it doesn't. You're trying too hard.

They're forced to eat them (not fed!) because there's nothing else. That's it!
