Niger Protesters Demand Exit of US Forces

There was an anti-US protest in Niger over the weekend calling for the departure of the US and all foreign military forces. US forces have been helping Niger’s government combat Islamic militants in the Sahel. VOA’s French to Africa reporter Abdoul Razak in Niamey tells VOA’s James Butty, the protest was called by civil society organizations sympathetic to the military government and that it comes as Russian troops arrived in the country last week to provide security for the junta.
