France to Complete Withdrawal of Its Contingent From Niger by December 22

The pullout of the French troops, deployed in Niger, began in early October almost two months after the Nigerien new leadership's request to leave the country. So far, according to the Nigerien military forces, about 1,346 French personnel and 80% of their logistics equipment have been withdrawn from the country.

The process of withdrawal of French forces from Niger is taking place "in a coordinated and completely safe manner," the statement reads.
Situation in Niger After Military Coup
About 200 French Troops Reportedly Leave Niger for Chad as Part of Withdrawal Process
Following the military coup in Niger in late July, the country's new leaders demanded the expulsion of the French ambassador and announced the denunciation of military agreements with France, requesting the pullout of its troops.
In early October, the first group of French military left Niger, and Paris promised to complete the withdrawal of troops by the end of the year. Amid anti-French demonstrations in the Sahelian region, Burkina Faso and Mali have also stopped military cooperation with France.
