The approximately 1,000 troops will leave the two US military bases in the country to the new regime.<\/p>\n<p>Russian forces are already in the country and actually share the same base as US troops.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is one of Joe Biden\u2019s greatest foreign policy failures among many and is, of course, being ignored by the US fake news media conglomerate.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/czkk7g1vj31o\">BBC reported<\/a> on the recent deal in Niger. It appears the Biden regime paid off the regime to save face as they were forced out of the country. You can bet that money was exchanged for this communication.<\/p>\n<p>The US and Niger have agreed that American troops will leave the country \u201cno later\u201d than 15 September, they announced in a joint statement on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>They said the two countries had \u201creached a disengagement agreement to effect the withdrawal of U.S. forces, which has already begun\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The military junta which seized power last year has already ordered French troops to leave, while moving closer to Russia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The statement commended the \u201cjoint sacrifices of Nigerien and U.S. forces in the fight against terrorism\u201d, adding that the withdrawal would not affect the continuation of US-Niger relations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe United States and Niger are committed to ongoing diplomatic dialogue to define the future of their bilateral relations,\u201d<\/strong> it read.<\/p>\n<p>That was a complete lie.

In case you missed our previous reporting, here is a recap.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Molly Phee, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, did a bang up job in Niger.

Zeine described his reaction to Molly Phee when she came to lecture the Nigerien leaders in March, \u201cYou have come here to threaten us in our country. That is unacceptable. And you have come here to tell us with whom we can have relationships, which is also unacceptable. And you have done it all with a condescending tone and a lack of respect.<\/p>\n<p>In April we learned about Joe Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2024\/04\/another-major-biden-disaster-nigers-russian-backed-military\/\">most recent foreign policy disaster<\/a> in Niger, Africa. US troops are trapped in the country allegedly without water and medicine at the time. The Army was likely hiding this to protect itself from the embarrassment. Deployed Americans were in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2024\/04\/17\/niger-air-force-whistleblower\/\">limbo and unable to do their jobs<\/a> and the Biden State Department was completely outmaneuvered once again.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to brilliant negotiating skills by Biden appointed diplomats US military will leave Niger and leave behind a $100 million airbase to the current anti-American rulers.<\/p>\n<p>The USA confirms it will pull out of Niger.<\/p>\n<p>1000 soldiers will leave after having been told to get out by the new Russian-friendly military junta<\/p>\n<p>They will leave the $110 mln airbase built a few years ago from which the US has been running its drone operations against AQ &amp; ISIS <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UwCLn79acW\">pic.twitter.com\/UwCLn79acW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Visegr\u00e1d 24 (@visegrad24) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/visegrad24\/status\/1781822789244129520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 20, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>On top of that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2024\/05\/another-biden-humiliation-russian-troops-enter-us-base\/\">news broke last week<\/a> that <strong>Russian troops<\/strong> have now entered the US airbase in the nation\u2019s capital, Niamey.<\/p>\n<p>The Russians will cohabitate with the remaining Americans at the US Airbase 101.<\/p>\n<p>This is another humiliation of US troops by Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Now we find out it was US diplomat working for Joe Biden who destroyed this important relationship with Niger.<br \/>\nVia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stripes.com\/theaters\/africa\/2024-05-14\/us-threats-rupture-ties-niger-13854717.html\">Stars and Stripes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A crucial military relationship between the United States and its closest West African ally, the country of Niger, ruptured this spring after a visiting U.S. official made threats during last-ditch negotiations over whether American troops based there would be allowed to remain, according to the country\u2019s prime minister.<\/p>\n<p>In an exclusive interview, Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine put the blame for the breakdown squarely on the United States, accusing American officials of trying to dictate which countries Niger could partner with and failing to justify the U.S. troop presence, now scheduled to end in the coming months. Niger has been central to efforts to contain a growing Islamist insurgency in West Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The rift between the former allies has created an opportunity for Russia, which has moved quickly to deepen its relationship with Niger, dispatching troops to the capital, Niamey, last month to train the Nigerien military and supplying a new air defense system. Russian and U.S. troops now occupy opposite ends of an air base.<\/p>\n<p>After a military coup d\u2019\u00e9tat ousted Niger\u2019s democratically elected president last year, the United States froze security support as required by U.S. law and paused counterterrorism activities, which had involved intelligence gathering on regional militant activities from a massive drone base in the country\u2019s north. The United States has kept more than 1,000 military personnel in place while negotiating with Niger over their status and urging the junta to begin restoring democracy\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Stars and Stripes then reveals the genius in the Biden State Department who destroyed US relations with Niger and how she did it.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Nigerien leaders took particular umbrage at remarks by Molly Phee, the State Department\u2019s top official for African affairs, who he said had urged the government during a March visit to Niamey to refrain from engaging with Iran and Russia in ways objectionable to Washington if Niger wanted to continue its security relationship with the United States. He also said Phee had further threatened sanctions if Niger pursued a deal to sell uranium to Iran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen she finished, I said, \u2018Madame, I am going to summarize in two points what you have said,\u2019\u201d recounted Zeine, who has led negotiations with the United States. \u201cFirst, you have come here to threaten us in our country. That is unacceptable. And you have come here to tell us with whom we can have relationships, which is also unacceptable.

This significant transition began with the departure of a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III from Air Base 101 in Niamey on June 7, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>This flight exemplifies the productive cooperation between the U.S. and Nigerien armed forces through the Joint Disengagement Commission, which is tasked with overseeing and coordinating the orderly and safe withdrawal of U.S. forces from Niger.<\/p>\n<p>Through the Joint Disengagement Commission\u2019s cooperative and transparent efforts, a small contingent of U.S. personnel has arrived in Niger to provide logistical support, ensuring the efficient withdrawal of remaining forces and assets from Air Bases 101 and 201. Concurrently, some U.S. forces have already redeployed from Niger to their home stations as their mission contributions concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Both U.S. and Nigerien officials are dedicated to completing a safe, orderly, and responsible withdrawal by September 15, 2024. They emphasize their commitment to the protection and security of American forces during this process.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Department of Defense and the Nigerien Ministry of National Defense recognize the joint sacrifices made by both nations\u2019 forces in the fight against terrorism. They commend each other\u2019s efforts in strengthening the Nigerien Armed Forces and express a shared commitment to continued cooperation in areas of mutual interest.<\/p>\n<p>This withdrawal of U.S. forces will not have an impact on the ongoing development relations between the United States and Niger.
