尼日 — CNSP過渡當局 — 法國

摘要

Defence cooperation between France and Niger dates from the 1961 agreements that followed independence and was renewed in a 2013 arrangement under which Niamey's Base 101 hosted French aircraft and, after the 2022 departure from Mali, the largest French contingent in the region. The Conseil national pour la sauvegarde de la patrie denounced the military agreements on 3 August 2023, a week after the coup; France initially refused to recognise the authorities, then announced on 24 September that its ambassador and forces would leave. The withdrawal completed on 22 December 2023, the embassy closed in January 2024, and Russian trainers arrived at Base 101 in May 2024, while American forces were still there. No French military presence has returned and the base now hosts the Russian contingent and the AES joint command.

為何重要

This termination is the pivot of the module's external-actor story in Niger: the air cover and intelligence the western garrisons relied on left with it, the Russian presence arrived into the space it vacated, and the state's war in Tillabéri has been fought since without either. It is also the second of three French exits — Mali in 2022, Niger in 2023, Burkina Faso in between — that made the AES possible.
