Russian Soldiers Enter Airbase Housing US Forces In Niger | Firstpost America

Tensions are running high in West Africa as Russian and American troops are stationed at the same military base in Niger. The troops of the two rivals are sharing Airbase 101 in the country's capital city of Niamey. However, the reports suggest that the soldiers are based in different hangars and are not mingling with each other. This comes after Niger's Junta Rulers expelled the US troops from the country following the July coup last year. The entry of Vladimir Putin’s forces has raised concerns over Russia’s access to US installations in Niger. Addressing the concerns, the US said that Russian troops did not have access to American equipment. Watch our video to know more.

I wouldn't be all that surprised if tensions between the Russian and US troops were actually pretty low on the base. Neither side are there looking for a confrontation.

[maungphong]

The beauty in chaos is that Russia is officially invited while the other is being officially expelled. With❤️from Myanmar

[africandude]

What concerns? France refuses to leave Africa, America refuses to leave. So Russia can stay too

[SaidouBaldeh-ckrk]

African for Africans we have right to choose our partners

[baruasafi]

America out, Russia in. That's the decision of the Nigerian people.

[theeonlyway]

America, which is my country, were told to leave. So pack it up USA.

[colinhutchinson]

Dont worry about Russia getting hold of American equipment in Niger, they're picking up enough in Ukraine.

The balance of power in the world is changing, people are sick of us, and im sick of our government putting other countries before our own, im sick of the endless proxy wars we spend billions of dollars on year in year out, im sick of seeing endless lines of tents lining the sidewalks in every major city across the US, im sick of seeing drugged up zombies walking around in a trance in most major cities, honestly, i think we're well on our way to collapse, like south Africa..

[AntonioGomes-gccv]

The people of Niger 🇳🇪 want the france and usa out .

[annmariedeignan]

We were told to leave. We need to leave. Period. We have become an embarrasingly hyper-militaristic nightmare of a country. We have no business meddling in all of these countries. When you have 800 bades around the world, you can no longer claim that it's about homeland security. We are engaging in a new and repulsive form of colonialism.

[wangeciwambugu]

Why is the USA army still there while the citizens have clearly said they're not needed

[Bettymaxs]

The US as always wanting to do whatever they pleased get the hell out

[jamesdixon]

America wast asked to leave, and like America, they never respected another country wishes, just leaving an aviod and conflict.

[brenchomsky]

There's a country with a habbit of refusing to leave.

[jacquelinemorgan]

All the Americans have to do is leave. Seems to be getting a bit crowded there now.

[mouodnv]

РУССКИЙ ЧЕЛОВЕК ДОБРЫЙ ! ПОЭТОМУ РОССИЮ ВСЕ ПРИГЛАШАЮТ, а Англосаксов гонят везде. МИР ОТКРЫЛ ГЛАЗА И ВКЛЮЧИЛ МОЗГ .СЛАВА РОССИИ !!! ВСЕМ ДОБРА.

[habibhussein]

Africa For Africans 🖤 2024 No Body Will Choose Friends And Enemies For Us🖤🖤

[cryptolive]

Safety of your troops call them back to America then they are safe!... simple😂😂😂😂

[markketchum]

Maybe we should leave places we aren’t welcome.

[christinacortez]
