"Niger’s Russian-Backed Military Junta Agrees to Release 1,000 US Soldiers ..."

This title is misleading. The term "release" suggests U.S. soldiers were/are being held prisoner. There are not.

The title of the article you cited is: "U.S.-TRAINED NIGER JUNTA KICKS OUT U.S. TROOPS, DRONE BASE." Nowhere does the article say that American troops/personnel are being held prisoner in Niger.
