Niger said on March 26 the United States will shortly submit a proposal to "disengage" its soldiers from the country, AFP reported. The move comes after the military regime in Niamey said it was withdrawing from a 2012 cooperation deal with Washington.
Niger’s Interior Minister General Mohamed Toumba met US ambassador Kathleen FitzGibbon on March 26 in Niamey to discuss the issue. According to the ministry, FitzGibbon told Toumba that the US had "taken note of the decision" by Niger to withdraw from the military pact. The US envoy added that the White House would be "coming back with a plan" on the "methods for disengaging" the troops, the ministry reported.
