Niamey (Niger) (AFP) - Thousands of people in Niger's capital on Saturday protested for the immediate departure of US soldiers from the north, after the military junta in Niamey said it was withdrawing from a military agreement with Washington. Following a July coup, the West African country said in mid-March that the 2012 cooperation agreement had been "unilaterally imposed" by the United States. Students and several prominent figures from the military regime were amongst the crowd in front of the National Assembly Headquarters in Niamey. The crowd was heard chanting "Down with American im...

By Boureima HAMA Niamey (Niger) (AFP) - Après les Français, les militaires américains pourraient à leur tour être chassés du Niger. Le régime des généraux au pouvoir à Niamey a dénoncé samedi "avec effet immédiat" l'accord de coopération militaire passé avec les Etats-Unis en 2012, affirmant que la présence américaine était "illégale". Rapidement après son arrivée au pouvoir lors d'un coup d'Etat le 26 juillet 2023, le régime de Niamey avait dénoncé des accords de coopération militaire avec la France et les derniers soldats français ont quitté le Niger fin décembre. Après le coup d'Etat qui a ...

Niamey (Niger) (AFP) - The United States said Monday it will "evaluate" its next steps on the crisis in Niger after France announced a full troop withdrawal as demanded by the nation's military coup leaders. France fields 1,500 soldiers in Niger as part of an anti-jihadist deployment in the Sahel region and the United States 1,100 military personnel. "While we give diplomacy a chance, we will also continue to evaluate any future steps that would prioritise both our diplomatic and security goals," US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters in Nairobi. He stressed Washington had "not made ...

Washington (AFP) - The United States is moving some of its troops from a base in Niger's capital Niamey -- where rebel officers seized power in a July coup -- to another in the Agadez area, the Pentagon said Thursday. Washington has some 1,100 military personnel in the country, but the Defense Department says they have largely remained on bases while curtailing activities such as joint training after the military takeover in Niger. The United States "is repositioning some of our personnel and some of our assets from Air Base 101 in Niamey to Air Base 201 in Agadez," Deputy Pentagon Press Secre...

Niamey (Niger) (AFP) - Niger's new military ruler warned Saturday that any attack on the country would not be a "walk in the park", as a delegation from West African countries made a final push to find a diplomatic solution following last month's coup. General Abdourahamane Tiani -- who took power after army officers toppled Niger's president Mohamed Bazoum on July 26 -- said in a televised address that a transition of power would not go beyond three years. But he added: "If an attack were to be undertaken against us, it will not be the walk in the park some people seem to think." He spoke aft...

Niamey (Niger) (AFP) - Nigeria's president has not ruled out military intervention in neighbouring Niger after its president was ousted in a coup but believes diplomacy is the "best way forward" to resolve the crisis, his spokesman said Tuesday. Bola Tinubu, also head of the West African bloc ECOWAS, weighed in for the first time since the soldiers behind the coup in Niger defied the bloc's Sunday deadline to reinstate President Mohamed Bazoum or face the possible use of force. Meanwhile efforts by ECOWAS and the United States to parlay with Niger's new rulers have made no headway ahead of a c...

Niamey (Niger) (AFP) - The second-ranking US diplomat met Niger's military leaders on Monday to press to reverse a coup but reported no headway a day after an ultimatum from the West African bloc was ignored. Victoria Nuland, a veteran envoy and acting deputy secretary of state, said she met for more than two hours with military chiefs who ousted democratically elected Western ally Mohamed Bazoum on July 26. Nuland's trip, conducted in secrecy until she left, came after the expiration of a deadline set by the ECOWAS regional bloc to reinstate Bazoum by midnight (2300 GMT) on Sunday or risk mil...

Niamey (AFP) - Pressure on Niger's coup leaders mounted Saturday, the eve of a deadline set by the West African regional bloc ECOWAS for the military to relinquish control or face possible armed intervention. Former colonial power France, with which the junta broke military ties after taking power on July 26, said it would "firmly" back whatever course of action ECOWAS took after the Sunday deadline expired. "The future of Niger and the stability of the entire region are at stake," the office of French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said after she held talks in Paris with Niger's prime mi...
