- US Troops Leave $100 Million Air Base in Niger | Vantage with Palki Sharma
US troops have withdrawn from the West African nation of Niger. On Monday, they handed over Air Base 201 to the Nigerien military. The US built this drone base at a cost of $100 Million. But Niger cancelled its defence pact with the US after the military took over the country last year. Niger is now partnering up with Russia to combat terrorists in the Sahel. Will the Russians move into the American-made air base in Niger?

This is why: Libya. I am Kenyan, but I will never forget the impact that NATO had in the fall and instabilities in Libya. Africa must rise against "unreasonable" bileteral engagements. Africa must rise for itself, even Russia has its own interests, we need Africa for Africans, and for the African continent
Am telling you NATO people will never go free the killing of colnel Gaddafi
I m an Indian but trust mee Russia is a true friend and will not exploit you like US/Nato

Yes Africa for Africans but because America was already there Russia was the only option to chase them away
how the 100million is made up
real cost=10million
local puppet leader's cut=25million
puppet leader's cut=15million
warmongering US senators cut=25million
USmilitary complex cut=25million
Yep, I agree with this breakdown
That's about right..
Sounds just about right
Facts 😅😅
Taxpayer's cut = "freedom"
Leaving 100 million in Niger is better than leaving 144 Billion in Ukraine
It was not free. They exported more Uranium than the money spent to build that Airbase. The West never does anything for Free
Leaving or got kicked 😂
$400 billion to ukraine
100Million is peanuts for a whole country. They should stop crying about it and leave already.
They didn’t literally leave money dumbo. And the scammers from either country shouldn’t be entitled to any other countries $$.
Russia In , US out but ISIS In with CIA support 😆
Isis where ????
Exactly. More trouble in waiting. It will be more than troubles
@@VictorJunior-bd3pi he means the US is about the send all sort of terrorists groups in Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali.
Has there not been trouble all this while?
Bro, they are created by the CIA in the first place
That's money we need HERE in this country! Let them take care of their own business!
They are pumping it back to our country.
Back into there pockets not yours.😷👌
The US should should mind it's own business then!
Amen! Bring all our troops home!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Naaa, they were deployed somewhere else
U can have them
Yh go somewhere else
Yeh you wish.
They will transfer to some other meat grinding nation and brought back in body bags with a folded flag thanking you for your families sacrifice to your nation. 😷👎
True, don't let the door hit them on the way out😂
They don’t build those things out of their good hearts, it was a give and take situation and i believe deep down my heart they earned more than what they build or the services they rendered… these people will never do nothing with having their own interest put first…
Yup US never never does anything that doesn't profits them , they may have left 100 million dollars base but I'm sure they profited double that
@@simonsakrinsow4597 exactly
Nigeria already pay for that already. America was Milking the Fat Cow 😀🇯🇲🧐😂😃😃🤣
it is a human problem, not a US problem. in this world almost nobody does anything for free. there is always something that one is targeting

The military might leave but CIA won't.
4 french DGSE equivalent of CIA agents were arrested in Burkina Faso... If they put their hands of a CIA agent in Niger, he will have a bad time... All these CIA meet must go now thgis isn't the 1980's...

Don't worry other fellow african will continue the same policy
YES CIA WON'T

Good and I hope other countries will follow
😂😂 and you think American tax payers cares
Never this will happen in Nigeria, sad truth
Lol😂 goodluck.
@@joeblack7100aqa
I think the US should pull out. The US can't keep squandering its money over troops doing their best to stop competing sub-Saharans from wiping each other out. Just do us a favor and stay in Africa, don't cross the Sahara.
$100 million investment for an airbase with cutting-edge military assets, 10 years time commitment, yet they couldn't defeat terrorist insurgencies operating on motorcycles across the Sahel. It was a deceitful "partnership", and I'm glad the Nigerien leadership has the gull to call it out and diversify their security allies.
@@sergezeda9738 America was the Terrorists or Funding the Terrorists so they get a Foothold in your country 🇯🇲🧐
So you go to Russia instead? haha. Buddy..they can't even beat Ukraine. Let Niger military fight there own war
The size of the sahel makes using a drone to be like looking through a straw. Even somalia is huge, over 1000 km of bush land. Only a political solution can work
Why defeat what they created? The airbase was created to monitor their mercenaries and ensure they are doing their work.
@@nomaddiaries9790💯👌💯
when the French first arrived to "help" 3 villages were under attack. Ten years after the presence of french and european troops, 162 villages and towns were occupied by rebels who exploited and trafficked gold for their eueopean backers. After the coup, over 70 villages have been taken back within one year. Same picture in Mali and Burkina Faso. Draw your own conclusions
Wat the hell is US doing there? Useless spending on other countries, inside is a mess
Congratulations. You are awake
USA was there to destabilise the country while they take control of the oil, gold fields worth billions that your country has been benefiting from since 2015.
I see both sides of the argument, yes don't waste money but at the same time maybe not let Russia and/or China become the military powers of the world.
Money.
@@Yophillips3272 The audacity to say....maybe not 'let' them.
Are they children? Isn't slavery over?
Out of that 100million air base. America has gotten trillions from oil, gold, diamonds and other free resources.

Why can’t this country heal itself in the first place? US, now Russia. The problem isn’t the outside countries. The report should be on the failings of the people in managing themselves. I’m sure the US is glad to spend their money on their own people..
No. US gains enormously exploiting local resources, whike Army keeps an eye on it. Like in Syria or Iraq dozens of years...
Obviously you commented without knowing anything about the country. Niger just had a coup a year ago to get France out. France has been controlling them. Taking their resources and putting in puppet French people. France is the reason this country is kicking out the West. They kicked out France first. They are trying to get leeches out of their country so they can control their own country and resources. They are not the only African country doing this. They are all kicking out the racists and thieves. Senegal is trying to follow suit. Ok. Do your research.
Вооруженные Силы РФ благодарны американским налогоплательщикам за бесплатную военную базу. Спасибо ребята.

lucky for USA, they will just take from EU and other weaker countries :)
Sounds like the US is gonna slide thru and deliver some democracy💀
That money could have spent and healthcare and better housing for Americans these politicians
Potitrics are very bad people running this world with lot of chaos
The idiot politicians don’t give a crap about their own country or people.
Do you know how much USA stole from Niger during that partnership period.
Dont worry. USA has looted more than it has spent. As an Indian I always wanted my country to align with the USA but after what it did with Bangladesh this week, I hv changed my mind.

American is stealing the resources from Niger
Yall never help Africans name one thing yall really help with africa help ur country become a country without africa and their resources the usa is a shit hole yall steal from other countries
And you need a spell checker as well as a fact checker. The US never helps someone without getting more in return that they invest & it was the same here. America wasn't there to help Niger, it was there to help America & Niger got sick of being told what to do in their own country.
Said many African nations are watching what Americans are doing with kenya and that alone will make America loose many allies in Africa.
What happened in Kenya with America....??
Imf
@@logician3641 helped rig in an incompetent president, got IMF & world bank messing the country up with loans and austerity measures that are hurting local economy, american mercenaries are in kenya working with police killer gangs to kill protestors in the most horrifying ways ever witnessed in the country, beheading, drownings, dismembering people, Mexican drug cartels styles of execution. CIA training grounds in kenya where kenyan law enforcement is taught all manner of lethal suppression. America has turned kenya into Afghanistan. American companies aren't paying taxes in Kenya despite taxes having been raised as per the US ambassador to kenya and her "business mates" negotiations with their puppet. Resulting in layoffs as companies are shutting down. America has really messed up kenya. Now the continent is weary of America's friendship and are opting to step away from America. If kenyans succeed in taking back their country the next administration might just have to shut down America embassy and kick out american troops stationed at Manda bay in kenya. Everybody has just about had it with America. Whoever wins in November will have to do alot of "mending fences", America has lost Africa.
Stop been an idiot
They are already losing, so many counties are in the process of getting rid of America, Russia, UK, France, Germany and other EU countries. That's why Europe & USA are panicking
Beautiful 👌
Beautiful!
Not that easy....They performed "BASE DENIAL" measures before they left.
For years African countries seek American, UK and French support when its comes to security and for years it hasn't worked. There was a few years back that one of the nato nation has been sponsoring boko haram in Nigeria but Nothing was done to that country. So if African countries have now decided to seek for Russian help then It's a Welcome development.
so what happen to russian wagner? HAHAHAHA! your russian cant even build a proper base haha
@markchristianramirez7202 you go home
@@markchristianramirez7202 What happened to Wagner? Some of their men were ambushed in a desert...Now you tell me what happened to the french AND British troops? That's right, they were kicked out after DECADES achieving NOTHING against fighters in sandals.
They didn't know they had a choice
@@icemike1 No, they did NOT have a choice, there's a LONG list of African presidents that were ass@sinated for even dreaming of abandonning the west...The choice only exists today thanks to China's emergence and Russia's rebirth.
If USA and Europe were to be the problem then why is India, South Korea and others better?
The world is changing.The East is filling the void the West abandoned.
Good.
The US should build a base on the Mexican border. It’s 100 time worst.
Great move from niger 💪🏻
Go home America
Go home and sleep, go, go, go
Yeah they should also pull all its aid from Africa
Lmao that's right ✅️
@@GarWhittakerwe got aid are self since the beginning of time africa don't need yall aid keep yallshit just know yall ain't getting are resources

We should take the 14 Billion Dollar pipeline with us.
spending our hard earned taxes to useless transactions!!! Politicians should send all our troops from foreign land back home, and resolve our own internal issues!!!!
You have no idea what you’re talking about. For every 100 million spent by USA, American companies take 10 billion worth of resources from these countries. Your politicians ain’t stupid
@orkujinirukandji4820 yh they steal from other countries without that the usa is a shit hole
The same people who claimed to be helping are the one causing chaos and destruction
There's high cost working with America they will always dictate what you do lmao 🤣
To be America's enemey is dangerous, to be an ally is deadly!
yeah but every country remember the slavery and war business. not really much countries wanna work with them. we wan't them out of Germany since the UDSSR colapsed. but they control goverment and bundeswehr. i'llmerica!
LOL! And Russia and China will not dictate terms or those nations just freely give away weapons to Niger.
It's the same if you don't. Afghanistan and Iraq are prime examples
USA, UK, France have already lost oil, gold fields. That was their main bread. Now that they have been told to leave. Their impact and control will become less. But USA, UK & France wont give up easy as they are already working on a 10year plan to try again to go back to Africa. If it fails. The west will create another terrorist group to cause havoc in Africa.
So they USA, France UK can offer their assistance. I just hope if it happens those African countries, will resist.
Can someone tell me why all the terrorist have brand new Toyota trucks? It was the with ISIS which had Toyota trucks and brand new Nike tennis shoes.
Good Job Niger 🇳🇪 👏

Thank you Senile joe.
Global North in Africa is never about helping. It is for their own interests. Please stop with nonsense.
Cost 100 million for the base... In reality it is actually only worth about 3 mill.
so they just replaced one colonizer with another, 😅 Africa will never change
Correct, but they are waaaay too stupid to figure it out. There is not even ONE successful African nation. South Africa has gone to s... since the boo boos took over. Violence out the kazoo.

France have already been deported from 3 African countries & as of now, those countries are refusing to renegotiate with France or to meet them in Africa or in France. The reason why France did not destroy anything is because they are hoping to be let in back. Because right now. France need Africa more than Africa needs them.
So russia will come in and use the airbase the US left. Make it make sense. Access to equipment, drones, tech...
