In late July 2023, a group of military officers from Niger's presidential guard announced the removal of President Mohamed Bazoum from power. The National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland, led by Guard Commander Abdurahmane Tiani, was formed to govern the country.
Niger has
terminated its military agreement with the United States because it is unfair, Niger government spokesman Col. Amadou Abdramane said in a statement on national television.
"The agreement with the US is not only deeply unjust in its essence, but it is also not in line with the aspirations and interests of the people of Niger; it has been imposed on us," Colonel Abdramane said. "The National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland has decided that the US presence on Niger's territory is illegal and violates all constitutional and democratic rules."
He stressed that the decision to terminate the contract with the US takes effect immediately.
According to media reports, the decision came after a visit by US officials to Niger this week. Abdramane said the officials violated diplomatic protocol by failing to inform Niamey of the delegation's composition, date of arrival, and agenda.
The
US operates a UAV base in northern Niger. At the end of 2023, there were about 1,100 US troops in the country, according to media reports.
