Thousands took to the streets of Niger’s capital yesterday to demand the departure of US troops.
Thousands took to the streets of Niger’s capital yesterday to demand the departure of US troops after the ruling junta further shifted its strategy by ending a military accord with the United States and welcoming Russian military instructors.
An export pipeline project backed by CNPC subsidiary PetroChina was officially launched last November, linking the Agadem oilfield to the port of Cotonou in neighbouring Benin. One hand-written sign in English read “USA rush out of Niger,” in a show of support for the junta and its decision in mid-March to revoke an accord that had allowed around 1 000 US military personnel to operate on its territory out of two bases.
