Remaining US troops stationed in Niger’s Agadez drone base in the north will leave the country by early August, according to a US commander. Niger’s junta, who seized power in a coup last year, has demanded that US and French anti-jihadist forces leave the country. French troops have since December completed their withdrawal.
