Niger has denounced “with immediate effect” a defense pact that allows Washington to operate its $100 million drone base.
Authorities in Niamey have decided to revoke the agreement with the US which allowed American military personnel and Pentagon's civilian contractors to operate in the West African state, a spokesman for the post-coup government announced on national television.
“The National Council for the Protection of the Fatherland officially denounced… the military cooperation agreements linking the country to the United States of America,” spokesman Colonel Amadou Abdramane said in a statement on Saturday night.
