US Military Completes Withdrawal From Last Drone Base in Niger | Firstpost Africa
The United States military has completed its withdrawal from air base 201 in Niger. The completion marks the end of the United States’ counterterrorism mission in the country. The drone base was strategic for the U.S., that costed up to $110 million. In March this year, Niger requested us to withdraw troops from the country. The U.S. was given a deadline of mid-September. Nearly 800 soldiers pulled out of a base in the capital Niamey in early July, as the remaining 200 have now exited. Niger under military rule has drifted away from the traditional Western allies, and has forged closer ties with Russia, Turkiye, and Iran.
