Niger’s ruling military council has scrapped a deal allowing US troops in the country, just after talks with US officials.
According to BBC News, the council accuses the US of illegal presence and claims the US delegation accused Niger of secret deals with Iran.
The move reflects a shift towards Russia and away from former colonial power France.
The military cites the need for equipment to fight jihadists, blaming international indifference for Niger’s plight.
This shift, detailed by BBC, signifies changing alliances and highlights Niger’s struggle against terrorism amidst global power dynamics.
