Russian Troops Enter Airbase 101 in Niamey, Niger Hosting U.S. Forces
May 2, 2024, 10:52 PM
Russian military personnel have entered Airbase 101 in Niger, which is located next to Diori Hamani International Airport in Niamey, the capital of Niger. This base is hosting U.S. troops, following a decision by Niger's military junta to expel U.S. forces from the country. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed the presence of Russian troops but emphasized that they do not have access to U.S. forces or equipment. The situation has raised concerns about potential escalations between the U.S. and Russia, as both nations' troops are now stationed at the same base, although in separate areas.
