Washington, April 22 (RHC)-- The U.S. military has announced it will withdraw troops from Niger and close down a major drone base that it had built six years ago.
On Sunday, hundreds of protesters in Niger marched in Agadez to demand the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops. This comes as Russia strengthens ties to the U.S.-trained military junta in Niger, which seized power last year in a coup.
