Africa is a hot spot in the world. Lots of let's say terrorist hunting goes on there.
Mush Biden has screwed a lot of stuff up, including this now. He is a foreign policy disaster.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
On Saturday, #Niger’s military junta announced it would immediately sever military cooperation with the #UnitedStates and ordered the removal of #American forces stationed in the country for counter-terrorism operations, signaling another shift away from western powers as the junta seeks greater support from #Russia.
The announcement comes just days after AFRICOM Commander Michael Langley and Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Molly Phee visited Junta leadership, where they were accused of being “condescending.”
Despite the decision, AFRICOM confirmed to Stars and Stripes that American forces are still in country, largely located at the Air Base 201 near Agadez, which has been a hub for counter-terrorism drone operations in the Sahel, which has been a growing hotbed for jihadism in recent years.
Since taking power during a coup in July 2023, the junta has ended military cooperation with #France as junta officials continue to meet with Russia for greater military and economic cooperation. #AtlasNewsUpdateNige
