00:00 The United States is facing a delicate decision concerning their military relationship with
00:12 Niger, and is now forced to evacuate their drone army present in the country.
00:17 Washington is faced with the question of whether the qualifying should this event
00:21 coup d'état, which would lead to the break of military ties and security between the
00:25 two nations.
00:26 The general of the James Hecker Air Force held a press conference in Washington
00:31 to discuss the situation.
00:33 He revealed that the United States is considering evacuating two Nigerian drone bases as a precaution,
00:39 fearing possible problems with the new military government.
00:42 The Pentagon is also exploring other African regions, in particular the Sahelian and
00:47 Saharan regions of North Africa, in search of new allies with whom it could
00:51 allow new bases and move their military assets.
00:54 However, General Hecker did not want to disclose the specific countries retained, according
01:00 to which the question would be treated in a diplomatic manner.
01:02 He stressed that the decision to qualify the overthrow of President Basum of Hukou Dettah
01:07 will take time, and that the departure of American military bases will have an impact
01:11 on intelligence operations and counterterrorism in the region.
01:14 It is important to note that the United States is looking to avoid a situation similar to
01:19 that of Afghanistan, where their withdrawal prevents leaving behind military equipment
01:24 and Afghan collaborators in the hands of the Taliban.
01:26 Thus, the planning of the evacuation of the Nigerian bases involves different scenarios,
01:31 ranging from a hasty departure to a peaceful diplomatic solution to maintain their presence.
01:36 The situation in Niger has also caused concern within the economic community of the states
01:42 of West Africa, CDAO, which brings together the neighboring countries of Niger.
01:46 The CDAO has called for a force in wait to reestablish the fallen president.
01:50 However, some member countries of the CDAO, such as Burkina Faso and Mali, have warned
01:56 that they would consider any military intervention in Niger as a declaration of war.
02:00 Regional stability in West Africa is therefore at stake, and the decisions taken by the United
02:07 States and the CDAO will have significant repercussions on the security and political situation
02:11 of the region.
02:12 The next few weeks will be crucial to determine the future of relations between the United
02:17 States and Niger, as well as to assess the will and capacity of the CDAO to restore President
02:21 Bassem to power.
02:22 The international community follows up on these developments, aware of the potential consequences
02:28 on regional stability and the fight against terrorism.
02:31 The United States, in particular, must avoid a delayed withdrawal that could leave a
02:36 security vacuum in the region.
