Niger’s ruling junta insisted on its demand that United States troops withdraw.

Last month, military leader General, ABDOURAHAMANE TIANI ordered United States troops to leave after ending a military agreement.

At least 650 United States personnel are stationed in Niger to monitor jihadist activity.

In a statement, Niger's junta said they had not benefited from the United States military deal as it turned out to be a fool's bargain.

It accused the United States of exploiting Niger and interfering in its internal affairs and seeking to control its foreign relations.
