The US is withdrawing its troops from Niger ahead of schedule with only 300 soldiers left in the uranium and oil rich Sahel country. Niger authorities have given mid-September as a deadline for the troop withdrawal, which comes against the backdrop of an increasing anti-western sentiment in the military-ruled Sahel states. Niger is also shifting its alliances moving closer to Russia and has reportedly sold uranium to Iran despite sanctions. American troops have been deployed in Niger for more than a decade to help the country fight terrorist groups. According to the Global Terrorism Index (GTI), the Sahel region in sub-Saharan Africa now accounts for 43% of global terrorism deaths—more than South Asia and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region combined.

Niger’s top court has lifted the immunity of the country’s democratically elected president, Mohamed Bazoum, thus opening door for the country’s junta-ruled government to prosecute him for alleged ‘high treason’. Abdou Dan Galadima, president of the State Court, Niger’s highest legal authority that had been created by the military government, announced the decision on Friday (14 June), nearly a year after Bazoum was overthrown by mutinous soldiers. The junta-led government had initiated the legal proceedings earlier this year, declaring their intention to eventually prosecute the ex-president for “high treason” and for undermining national security. In December last year, the ECOWAS highest court ruled that Bazoum and his family were arbitrarily detained and called for him to be reinstated to office. Niger’s junta subsequently pulled the country out of the West African grouping, booted out France’s military and ordered the US troops to leave as well.

Nigeria said it will deploy 197 peacekeepers to Gambia to back the ECOWAS’s peace and stability mandate. Troops from ECOWAS entered The Gambia in January 2017 following long-time Gambian President Yahya Jammeh’s refusal to step down after losing the 2016 presidential election to Adama Barrow. This intervention ultimately resolved the 2016-17 Gambian constitutional crisis, and ECOWAS forces remain in the country to maintain order and assist domestic security forces. The name of the mission was changed from Operation Restore Democracy to ECOWAS Mission in the Gambia (ECOMIG).
