Bundeswehr Withdraws from Air Hub in Niger Amid Failed Negotiations
The German Bundeswehr is withdrawing from its air force base in Niger following failed negotiations with the coup plotters in Niamey regarding continued operations. The air hub, crucial for the UN mission in Mali, saw an investment of 120 million euros from Germany.
However, disagreements on legal immunity for German soldiers led to the decision to close the base by August 31st. This move signifies Germany's exit from its last military base in West Africa, with concerns rising over Russia's increasing influence in the region.
The failed negotiations have prompted a reassessment of Germany's military cooperation and capacity-building projects in Niger.
