"Niger's Junta Revokes Military Accord with US, Shifts Focus to Russia"
Niger's ruling military junta has revoked a military accord with the United States, citing the U.S. delegation's failure to follow diplomatic protocol during a recent visit. 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.
