American media: The United States announced the withdrawal of 1000 troops from Niger
In the near future, a contingent of the American army with a total number of 1000 military personnel will be withdrawn from Niger. This was reported by The New York Times (NYT) journalist Eric Schmitt.
As the observer noted, the American administration has already sent the corresponding notification of the withdrawal of troops to the authorities of the West African country. That is, the White House has already made a decision, and in the coming months measures will be taken to withdraw US Army personnel from Niger.
Schmitt believes that the withdrawal of American troops from the West African country will not lead to good consequences. According to the journalist, this will weaken the fight against terrorist groups operating in the Sahel zone.
The US decided to withdraw troops after the military ruling Niger broke the agreement with Washington. It was according to this document that a contingent of the American army could be stationed on the territory of the country. The current authorities of Niger take an anti-imperialist position and try to ensure maximum sovereignty of the country, freeing themselves from the French and then the American military presence in the state.
Now Niger is actively developing cooperation with Russia. Earlier, Nigerian media reported that Russia sent 100 of its military instructors and an air defense system to the country. In addition, Niger has improved relations with Iran. In fact, we are talking about the fact that another country on the African continent has refused to live by the rules imposed by the West and is trying to build its own future.
