Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[RIA] The Niger military in power has terminated the military agreement with the United States, which allows American units to remain on the territory of this African country, Reuters reports, citing the official representative of the military transitional government of Niger, Amadou Abdraman.
A thousand thank you's Double-A. The American taxpayer enthusiastically applauds your decision.
"Niger's ruling military junta has revoked a military agreement with the United States that allows U.S. military and Department of Defense civilian personnel to remain in the country, effective immediately," the agency said in a statement.

Reuters did not report the reasons for this decision.

Niger's military announced on national television at the end of July that President Mohamed Bazoum had been removed from power. The military, led by the commander of the presidential guard, General Abdurakhman Tchiani, who took power in the country, subsequently denounced the military agreements with France.
