"Niger Junta Suspends Military Cooperation with US, Citing Unfairness"

Niger has suspended its military agreement with the United States, dealing a blow to US security interests in the region, following a visit by senior US officials that the ruling military spokesman Colonel Amadou Abdramane said did not follow diplomatic protocol. The US military operates a major airbase in Niger, and the suspension comes after the US delegation accused Niger of partnering with Russia and Iran on "secret" deals, which the government denies. The move reflects a broader trend in the region, with neighboring Mali and Burkina Faso also kicking out French and other European forces and turning to Russia for support.

The junta spokesperson stated that the decision was made due to the U.S. delegation's lack of transparency and condescending attitude, and emphasized Niger's right to choose its own partners in the fight against terrorism. The U.S. Department of Defense has not yet responded to the revocation.
