The United States will begin to withdraw its troops from Chad and Niger after the two African countries demanded that the US forces leave. There are around 1,100 US personnel in Niger and about 100 in Chad.
These developments were not isolated events but had a profound wider significance that was recognized across the continent, said Tunde Osazua, a member of the Black Alliance for Peace human rights project.
“The withdrawal of the US military from Niger and Chad is an immensely significant development. It signals a potential shift in dynamics across Africa, particularly in strengthening and acting on existing anti-imperialist sentiment,” Osazua said.
These latest developments served to accelerate an already strong trend eroding US standing across Africa as exemplified by the declining US footprint across the continent, he said.
