Pentagon: U.S. forces to leave Niger by mid-September
U.S. forces will withdraw from Niger by mid-September, officials from both nations announced Sunday, an outcome that the Pentagon had hoped to avoid through negotiations aimed at preserving its longtime counterterrorism operations in the West African country.
Instead of an agreement to extend the U.S. presence, four days of talks concluded with a deadline — Sept. 15 — for the exit of U.S. troops in accordance with the demands of Niger’s military junta, which came to power by coup last summer.
