NIAMEY, Niger — 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’s prime minister.
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.

The U.S. is giving up being a friend and ally to nations representing 1.2 billion people (Africa), and letting the CCP and Russia walk in and make new African allies all the time.
We sent Karen to give them a stern talking-to
Make sure you do not confuse Nigeriens and Nigerians. Also be very careful when you pronounce the name of the nation Niger, ‘Knee-jair’ and the river of the same name the Niger ‘Nigh-jer’.
Imagine the fun of showing junior high kids a map of Africa.
One of their complaints was that they allowed us to base there but we would not assist them in fighting terrorists attacking their cities.
Then we send a snippy female to threaten them. In Africa threats from a woke American woman with a picaninny complex don’t go over really well.
She asked to speak to the manager of Niger....
Way to go, Joe. Way to go.
The Biden administration is such a disaster. Sheer incompetence alloyed with invincible ignorance and relentless self-righteousness.
DC was angry that the coup ousted that former leader and broke ties with France. So we tried to organize surrounding countries to attack. Then we thought throwing our weight around and showing the new government contempt would also back them down.
DC, like the French, Brit, German and other EU governments, is filled with self important fools.
The rest of the world is finished with the shuffle and obey routine.
For those not paying attention, there is a scandal brewing. The head defense guy who wants to run for office invited Prince Harry to Nigeria. Treated him like Royalty. Even had him inspecting the troops.
A Nigerian civil rights group has called for an investigation as to who funded all of the pomp and circumstance. Three Kings granted an African Queen title to Meghan.
Meanwhile, when they got back the headlines were about how their charity is in default with the California authorities
Only the best and brightest at State. I’m sure the men who now run Niger wanted nothing more than to have to be lectured to by an old white spinster (probably lesbo) about their toxic masculine patriarchy.
I don’t know about you, but I’m rootin’ for the Niger!
Yes, I did. I didn’t read the article and just looked at the headline. Didn’t even recognize they are spelled differently.
Yep
OH NO!
China is not the least bit conserned with “Chinese guilt” and treat the Africans little better then slaves. Just another gift from Biden to his Chinese boss. Africa has huge resources that will supply the green new world.
Does not surprise me. This country is run by children who have no idea what they are doing yet think they are the smartest people in the room.
