The Russian newspaper “Izvestia” reported that the Republic of Niger has expressed its readiness to host a comprehensive Russian military base on its territory, as part of its efforts to reduce the number of terrorist attacks.
Niger’s honorary consul, Adou Ero, said Niger was interested in the presence of the Russian base and was ready to host it.
The development comes amid the withdrawal of US troops from Niger, which began on June 8 following an agreement reached in mid-May.
Niger in March terminated a military agreement with the United States, under which a US drone base was established in the north of the country, noting that the agreement was imposed on the Nigerien authorities and did not agree with the interests of the people.
About 1,100 U.S. military personnel were present in Niger, most of them stationed at an air base near the city of Agadez.
