Hello and welcome to the details of France to begin troop withdrawal from Niger this week and now with the details
Nevin Al Sukari - Sana'a - — France will begin withdrawing its troops from coup-hit Niger this week after President Emmanuel Macron said last month he refused to be held hostage by the putchists and was ending military cooperation with the West African country.
PARIS, Oct 5 — France will begin withdrawing its troops from coup-hit Niger this week after President Emmanuel Macron said last month he refused to be “held hostage” by the putchists and was ending military cooperation with the West African country.
The decision to pull 1,500 troops from Niger leaves a gaping hole in Western efforts to counter a decade-long Islamist insurgency. It also deals a huge blow to French influence in the Sahel and could allow Russia to expand its sway over the region’s vast, insecure scrublands.
In a statement today, the French Armed Forces Ministry said the troops would return to France and that the military exit should be complete by the end of the year.
Niger was the West’s last key ally in the central Sahel region south of the Sahara Desert until a July 26 coup brought in a military junta which called for France to leave.
