Niger Junta Revokes Military Cooperation With US, Eyes Strong Russian Ties To Counter Terrorism

38

Niger’s ruling military junta on March 16 announced that it was breaking off “with immediate effect” its military cooperation agreement with the US. Abdramane also said that the presence of US troops in Niger “is illegal and violates all the constitutional and democratic rules.” The declaration came just a day after a senior US delegation left Niger following a three-day visit to renew contact with the military junta. The US has some 1,000 troops in Niger at a desert drone base, named Air Base 201, built near Agadez in central Niger at a cost of over $100 million. The junta also took a hard line against former colonial power France, forcing the withdrawal of French troops in place for nearly a decade. Watch the video to find out more.

  2. Niger are proudly announce that it will welcome Russia to establish military base and if Russia and Iran wants to invade Europe and US they will unconditionally supplied whatever Russian need to achieve its dream of seeing western civilization burn to ashes

  4. Nobody needs more help from the USA in their territory. Go help people suffering on the streets of New York, California, Texas, Maryland, Massachusetts and other cities in the USA… Go help your border with Mexico and secure the streets of your damn country.

  12. their is nothing like these filthy western powers fighting terrorists al-Qaida ISIS boko haram all these are their creations allover the word. their issue is create a problem and pretend to be having a solution

  24. It is the ordinary people of Niger who will suffer. It is like groundhog day, an endless cycle of coups and corruption followed by more coups. Botswana and Namibia are the African examples of governance to follow.

  25. I think US troops need to withdraw immediately and cut ties with niger completely and stop all the funds. so they'll experience what Afghanistan experienced. let's see their big friend Putler will help.

  26. America should not be telling people of other countries, & who shouldn't be their friends. Africans don't tell American who should & shouldn't be their friend. The world has how lies have been used, to create wars. And people are fed of these lies. We are now entering a multi-polar world, where by countries want development & peace, rather than wars & killing of innocent people, just to make money.

  29. Perfect. What are France and Amerika even doing there in Africa. Let me guess. They are stealing and scamming the people and their resources. So called acting as freedom and democracy bringers. Terrorists from the west never bring peace.

  31. Sounds like the US sent a neocon to Niger and dictated like a colonial power. Even making threats. They got the response they deserved. The colonial powers should learn from the approach of China and Russia. Otherwise, they will lose their global influence totally.

  33. 🌟… "THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO CIVILIZATIONS FLOURISHED IN AFRICA WHICH DID NOT SUFFER AT ALL COMPARED TO THOSE OF OTHER CONTINENTS". "DURING THESE CENTURIES, AFRICAN PEOPLE WERE POLITICALLY FREE AND ECONOMICALLY INDEPENDENT". "THEIR SOCIAL PATTERNS AND CULTURES WERE TRULY THEIR OWN AND NATIVE". … "HAILE SELASSIE" ♦

    🌟… ACCORDING THAT IT IS "WRITTEN" IN THE "BOOK" OF "ECCLESIASTES" : "THE ETERNAL BRINGS BACK WHAT HAS PASSED"… ! … "AS IT WAS BEFORE, SO IT SHALL BE AGAIN"… ! ! ! "AMENHOTEP" !

  34. The problem Americans have is not understanding the limit of their 1st amendment. It only works in America don't take that to other countries. Show some respect to a country that is tolerating your arrogance

  37. Partnerships are built on mutual agreement and not by coarcion and threat mongering.
    US and the West need to abondon colonial attitude and design a new foreign policy that respect all partners.
