Niger's ousted president is said to be running low on food under house arrest, 2 weeks after coup
Niger's deposed president is running out of food and under increasingly dire conditions two weeks after he was ousted in a military coup and put under house arrest, an adviser said Wednesday.
The US military is finalizing its withdrawal from Air Base 101 in Niger, with a farewell ceremony for the last C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft scheduled soon. US Air Force Major General Kenneth Ekman shared that the morale among American troops is 'mixed' as they prepare to leave. The Nigerien government will take control of the base, and Russian instructors are already on-site to train Niger's military. What does this mean for US-Niger relations and the region's security? Watch the full update now.
