    Hundreds of People Rally Against US Military Presence in Niger - Reports

Nigerien news portal Air Info Agadez reported on Sunday that hundreds of protesters gathered near a US military base in the city of Agadez today to protest its presence in the country.

"We, the people of Agadez and all of Niger, are convinced that the presence of any foreign military base on our territory cannot be conducive to our security and constitutes a form of neocolonialism," one of the protesters was quoted as saying by the news website. 

🇳🇪🚨 "Ici c'est Agadez, pas Washington, armée US partez".

1-2) Une mobilisation a eu lieu ce matin à Agadez pour réclamer le départ des militaires américains de la base 201, présents depuis 2013.

The situation escalated last month when Col. Maj. Amadou Abdramane, a spokesperson for Niger's ruling junta, publicly denounced the US and terminated the "counterterrorism" partnership between the two countries.

Abdramane cited violations of Niger's constitution as the basis for revoking the agreement that allowed US troops and civilian Defense Department employees to operate within Niger since 2012.

Niger's Interior Ministry has recently stated that the US had committed to presenting a plan for the "disengagement" of troops from the West African country following Niamey's termination of its military agreement with Washington.

However, the full withdrawal has yet to occur.
