The government of Niger has revoked, with immediate effect, the military cooperation agreement concluded by the government of the former regime with the United States of America, which allows for the presence of American troops in the country.
Niger announced the cancellation of a military cooperation agreement with the United States, which dates back to 2012, the day after senior U.S. officials visited Niamey for three days.
“The Government of Niger, taking into account the aspirations and interests of the people, responsibly decides to rescind with immediate effect the agreement on the status of the United States military personnel and civilian personnel of the US Department of Defense on the territory of Niger,” Nigerian government spokesman Amadou Via Rahman said in a statement read out on national television.
Niger runs a transitional government, formed on August 10 last year. This was after the ouster of President Mohamed Bazoum and the formation of the National Council for the Protection of the Fatherland.
This step came within the framework of a series of political events witnessed by more than one African country, in which military groups took the initiative, raising slogans against external interference in the policies of their countries, and demanding an end to decades of colonialism and the exploitation of African wealth by some European countries.
France announced that it will close its embassy in Niger next month after the coup and strained relations between the two countries and says that the closure of the embassy will be for an “indefinite” period.
