Hundreds protest in Niger demanding departure of US troops

Hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets of Niger’s capital to demand the departure of United States troops after the military government further shifted its strategy by ending a military accord with the US and welcoming Russian military instructors.
Marching arm in arm through central Niamey on Saturday, the crowd waved Nigerien flags in a demonstration that recalled anti-French protests that spurred the withdrawal of France’s forces from Niger last year after the army seized power in a coup.
