Biden's foreign policy does it again! Abandons another military base

Biden Official Damages Relations with Niger

US Troops Stuck in Country, 100 Million Airbase Abandoned

The Biden administration’s foreign policy in Africa has faced yet another setback, this time in Niger, where Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Molly Phee’s actions have led to a major diplomatic crisis.

Phee’s visit to Niger in December 2023 was followed by protests calling for the removal of US forces from the country, highlighting the deterioration of relations between the two nations.

Nigerien Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine publicly accused Phee of using threats and condescension during negotiations regarding the presence of US military personnel in Niger.

• The USA confirms it will pull out of Niger

• 1000 soldiers will leave after having been told to get out by the new Russian-friendly military junta

• They will leave the $110 mln airbase built a few years ago from which the US has been running its drone operations against AQ & ISIS

In April 2024, reports surfaced indicating that US troops stationed in Niger were facing challenges such as shortages of essential supplies like water and medicine.

The situation was exacerbated by a lack of clarity and direction from the Biden administration, leaving deployed soldiers unable to fulfill their duties effectively.
