Paris, September 25 (RHC)-- French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will withdraw its troops and ambassador from Niger, two months after a military coup that overthrew President Mohamed Bazoum. 

It’s another setback for France’s waning neo-colonial presence in the Sahel region, where its decade-long counterterrorism efforts have largely failed or worsened insecurity. 

Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso — all former French colonies which have seen military coups in recent years — formed a mutual defense pact earlier this month to combat against armed imperialist interventions.
