US says it will withdraw troops from Niger by September
As Niger has distanced itself from the West, it has drawn closer to Russia.
Last month, Russian military instructors arrived in Niger as part of a new agreement with its military leaders.
Niger has also broken away itself from local democracies and sought stronger regional alliances with fellow junta-led nations Burkina Faso and Mali.
The trio have quit Ecowas – the West African regional body which opposed their military takeovers.
They have also quit the French-backed G5 Sahel force, saying it was ineffectual and undermined African sovereignty, and launched their own defence pact called the Alliance of Sahel States.
