The U.S. military has withdrawn its forces from its last base in Niger, the Pentagon said Monday, more than a year after military coup leaders in the African country told them to leave.
The "withdrawal of U.S. forces and assets from Air Base 201 in Agadez is complete," the Pentagon said in a joint statement with Niger's defense ministry. "This effort ... will continue between U.S. and Nigerien armed forces over the coming weeks to ensure the full withdrawal is complete as planned," it continued.
It did not give any detail on what assets the U.S. may still have left to withdraw in the country. Some 200 soldiers had been at the Agadez drone base, in the north of the country.
