United States begins the search for alternatives to Niger for stationing troops in Africa
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] American authorities are exploring alternative options for deploying their troops in Africa after the new leadership of Niger broke the military agreement with Washington, Democratic Chairman of the US Senate Armed Services Committee Jack Reed said at an online meeting with the Defense Writers Group.

TASS writes about this. According to him, the United States Army began to receive signals from this African country that it was becoming less and less comfortable there.

Reed noted that important factors in choosing a new location will be its distance from conflict points and the ability to establish cooperation with local authorities. In addition to the military presence in Africa, the senator also called for establishing diplomatic work on the continent.

He added that ambassadors can act with the same effect that achieves any of the armed forces.

As Regnum reported, on March 17, it became known that the military that seized power in Niger immediately broke the agreement with the United States, which allowed the American military to be in the country. Regime spokesman Colonel Amadou Abdraman clarified that the decision was made due to the recent arrival of Americans in Niger.

Niamey noted that this trip violated diplomatic protocol. In turn, the Pentagon said it was in contact with the Niger authorities regarding the broken agreement.

#4 I say we take a hard line. Sanctions and more sanctions! Refuse to station US troops in Africa and force them to buy arms on the Ukrainian black market.
