Niger Awaits US Plan to Withdraw American Troops From Country, Source Says
12:31 18.03.2024 (Updated: 15:04 18.03.2024) Last week, Niger's military leadership, which took power in the July coup last year, terminated the country's military agreement with the United States, allowing US soldiers to remain on Niger's soil. Niger government spokesman, Col. Amadou Abdramane, said in a statement on national television that the deal was "deeply unjust."
Niger awaits a plan from the United States to withdraw troops from the country, a government source told Sputnik.
The source said that now, it is necessary for the Americans to offer the government an exit plan, because these are their forces, they are the ones who know what they have here, Niger does not know this.
After the termination of the military agreement by Niger, US troops do not have the right to conduct exercises or move around the country, the source added.
On Sunday, the US-Niger military agreement was terminated by Nigerien authorities as it was "
not in line with the aspirations and interests of the people of Niger," government representative Col. Amadou Abdramane said.
