The German army will end operations at its airbase in Niger by August 31 following the breakdown of talks with the Sahel country's ruling junta, Germany's defence ministry said Saturday.
All Bundeswehr soldiers stationed at the base will be withdrawn by August 31 and German military cooperation with Niger will be put to an end, the ministry added.
The breakdown in negotiations marks Niger's latest diplomatic shift away from the West since a coup d'etat in July 2023 ousted President Mohamed Bazoum and brought the current military leadership to power.
Since then, Niger has turned towards Russia and Iran and away from the United States and former colonial ruler France.
A similar shift has taken place in neighbouring Mali and Burkina Faso, which are likewise ruled by military leaders and faced with violence from jihadist groups.
At the end of May, Germany and Niger reached an interim agreement allowing the Bundeswehr to continue operating the air transport base in the capital Niamey until the end of August.
But negotiations to extend that agreement broke down, notably because the base's personnel would no longer benefit from immunity from prosecution.
Only 38 Bundeswehr soldiers were stationed at the base in recent times, along with 33 staff from German and foreign companies.
It was notably used for operations to evacuate German nationals in Africa.

West Africa giving Europeans the boot out of the continent
Now peep this, watch how much money western European countries give to Arab gulf states.
The west will give the gulf Arabs money to fund the expansion of Islam in Africa just so that it can create problems

Africans will say they “willingly” accepted lslam when and start having more and more internal issues until Arabization kills off more and more indigenous African culture.
Then later wonder “how could it lead to this happening

That's the game planAnd Africans will say they “willingly” accepted lslam when they’ll start having more and more internal issues and Arabization kills off more and more indigenous African culture.

Islam has to be eradicated from the continent

Christianity & Islam are both extremely harmful and inherently anti-African.
No amount of tryna spray “Black” on them will change that.
They are “Religious All Lives Matter” communities and the easiest spaces to look at to affirm this undeniable fact.
Until Africans value their indigenous spiritual customs they’ll ALWAYS be oppressed, build self-harming social structures and give other races power and domination over them.

"Niger has turned towards Russia and Iran"
they've gotten more done, and more self sufficient than all the decades France and America were there.
Their economies have improved and theres already more development going on. FOH man.
The level of stupidity in some of the posts in this thread
All 3 leaders of the Alliance of Sahel States are Muslim as is about 93-95% of their populations (65% for Burkina Faso) how exactly would it be an effective policy to "expand Islam to subvert the region" in a area that's been predominately Muslim for well over 1000+ years?
I'm no Islam apologist in the slightest, but let's stick to the facts. It's typically the Christian countries in Africa that do the most tapdancing for the West and are the most corrupt.

Christianity is not European, it was in AFrica long before Europeans arrived. Jesus and his parents had to flee to Egypt for some time to go into hiding.
Not to mention it was prevelant in the Nubian/Sudanese and Ethiopian empires long before there was a western Europe.

As it’s been historically used on Black ppl to enable the
trans-Atlantic Slavetrade and Sub-Saharan / Arab Slavetrade.
"In the late 15th century, Portuguese traders and missionaries began arriving in West Africa, first in Guinea, Mauritania, the Gambia, Ghana, and Sierra Leone, then Nigeria and later in the Kingdom of Kongo, where they would find success in converting prominent local leaders to Catholicism."
Christianity in Africa - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
Google Maps link: Elmina Castle, Ghana where enslaved Africans were kept under it’s Christian Church to be sold to the Americas
Black Christians will still play blind to these historical facts and evidence about our own history and do Olympic level mental gymnastics to cope, instead of acknowledging what they can see with their own eyes and actually PHYSICALLY touch with their own hands and feet today.
Ignoring the truth of our history like Massa wants.
Just like we descent from Central and West Africa,
but they’ll point to Ethiopia which is located in East Africa,
to insinuate that Christianity ain’t inherently colonial.
Like it wasn’t brought there to Ethiopia by a non-Black Phoenician Christian missionary from Lebanon.

Unfortunately, but I would say it's more the Anglophones and Francophones, moreso than the religion. Most African countries(especially in the west) whether predominantly Christian or Muslim have no issues or conflicts over spiritual beliefs. Its only in recent times with western armed terrorists trying to turn the places in to Afghanistan(Afghanistan was also more progressive before the western backed extremists were armed to fight Russia)... same plan different continent.
