US forces reportedly ordered to be combat-ready as Russian troops arrive in Niger

American troops have reportedly been ordered to be combat-ready as Russian forces arrived at their base in Niger, with the country telling the US to remove its forces from its territory. The Russians are currently using a separate hangar at the facility.

Last month, thousands gathered in Niamey, demanding the departure of US troops from the West African nation. We hear from Abdoul Moumouni Abass, adviser to Niger's foreign minister, who says that Moscow's support for African countries is much more pragmatic than that of the West
