US agrees to withdraw troops from Niger amid Sahel region’s pivot to Russia


The United States is in the process of withdrawing its forces from Niger.
The country’s military junta ended an agreement with Washington, that allowed it to base its troops for operations in the region. And Russia is looking to step in and fill the gap.

  1. Again Putin can't defend it's own allies, and throws away young mens lives in Ukraine. For what Putin's pride. Putin is such a world disappointment, he needs to go.

  2. Similarly, all arab nations should become a united strength.
    Hence you can determine the "palestine".. & all arab world issues against america/ britain/ nato… ❤️ from chennai- india…

  3. American colonial power go home and stay away from poor Africa. Independent country Niger in Africa order all US forces military forces illegally occupying Niger to live ASAP. 92% of the people in Niger have no electricity and other Central African countries since US and France did neocolonialism taking for almost for free large uranium deposits that were exploited for natural resources mostly for uranium gold oil Platinum lithium and all rare metals one of the poorest countries in Africa is getting help aid from great Russia and China China is going to build infrastructure Russia is going to build in Nigeria first nuclear power plants in the country of the huge uranium resources to power the poor African people. I say future of Africa is China and Russia.

  4. Russia and China never sold blacks as slaves! Throw out all colonialists from Africa and make them apply for visas the same way blacks are treated in their country!! Wake up Africa enough being beggars to the west!!

  5. África no seu pior, mais ditaduras e mais pobreza virá. Quais os países que em África prosperaram com apoio da URSS? Nenhum,. O mesmo erro, África continua a repetir o mesmo erro.

  6. Us soldiers there to train niger soldiers😂😂😂😂 its there to control a hotspot in a african zone, please the more bs you speak the more retarded u look

  7. America never had Democracy that's a illusion as long as congress can be lobby by the rich and their campaign coffers filled by the Rich their is no equal justice in United States when we fund wars that the people protest against like Vietnam, Afghanistan, and well known Racist Ukraine that receives Afro-American tax dollars. Plus funding a war in Israel that has created a blood bath. AMERICA Government is Plutocrazy , GOVERNMENT BY THE WEALTHY.

  8. They should also withdraw from Iraq already (where they have a massively bigger military presence), the government has officially requested that and they refused, making them basically a occupying army. Not to mention the 1/3rd of Syria they occupy completely illegally, stealing oil and grains (it's "coincidentally", the richest part of the country in resources).
    Also Okinawa, both the Japanese goverment and the US have been occupying that Island for 80 years, the people there (they're not Japanese) have been protesting for decades for them to leave, yet the US did nothing but expand their bases even more, taking even more land and deforesting/destroying even more landmarks of the inhabitants.

    But we all know, various groups of people around the world only deserve rights, attention and independence if they can be manipulated into creating a (color) revolution and destibilizng a government that doesn't want to take marching orders from Uncle Sam anymore.

    Now, with Russia, China, Iran, DPRK and other rising, sovereign powers. The west/US has finally bitten more than they can chew.
    BTW the so called "pause" of sending ammountion to Israel is because they're running out (remember, they're also propping up 2-3 other proxy wars, Ukraine and China's Taiwan province, and of course, Iran again). Speaking of Iran, the only reason they refused to go to war with Iran at "Israels" (their master basically) is because they know they're very weak (economically, militarily and even international image-wise) right now, and likely, will get even weaker in the coming years. Hopefully the petrodollar hegemony gets dusted sooner than that, and we can all trade with eachother without a tyrannical 3rd party (ie the US) profiting massively from it, while we struggle to develop our countries.

  9. Good, there is no reason to create even more tension and US threats/flexing on little/poor countries.
    Little by little countries around the world are regaining their soveregnty.
    Now, abolish the IMF, WB, ICC (and replace it with something immune to unilateral threats and meddling, such as the horrendeous US "Hague Invasion Act" and their sanctions on members… which they largely control anyway, like Karim Khan, it's leader), WEF and completely reform the UN.

  10. If anyone wanted any further evidence to prove the fall of the Amerikkkan empire, this completely nails it. Rust In Peace Amerikkka empire, your glory days are behind you. Niger has told you to leave and you must voetsak!
