Russian Soldiers Enter Airbase Housing US Forces In Niger | Firstpost America

Tensions are running high in West Africa as Russian and American troops are stationed at the same military base in Niger. The troops of the two rivals are sharing Airbase 101 in the country’s capital city of Niamey. However, the reports suggest that the soldiers are based in different hangars and are not mingling with each other. This comes after Niger’s Junta Rulers expelled the US troops from the country following the July coup last year. The entry of Vladimir Putin’s forces has raised concerns over Russia’s access to US installations in Niger. Addressing the concerns, the US said that Russian troops did not have access to American equipment. Watch our video to know more.

  1. Common sense… Americans have been expelled… Russian forces have been given the spot… Why arent these Americans leaving… French left… Why can't US do the same?

  6. If you are not welcomed in someone ´s house and this one wants you out, just leave!!! This white colonizers don’t listen and they don’t want to recognize that they are the past in not only Africa but all over the planet 😧

  11. American troops were told to leave a long time ago.They refuse to leave,if a confrontation happens which will eventually do under these scenario,the world now knows who to blame!.

  14. You must think how our troops are going to think. Just give up there base to the enemy, because it's on foreign land. This is no small base, and it's been home to these troops for some time. This is a 100 million dollar complex. Just buy it from them, and then they will leave. 🤔

  18. The real question here is, do any African nation have troops in their countries, Why are African leaders making themselves and their people so vulnerable??? Saddddddd

  23. What we see is only the beginning. Africans are renowned for their patience but when they say vukoff…you better vukoff!!!😂🇷🇺

  28. Maybe if CIA gets
    Putin to fly American troops out of two bases in Africa. Since Putin allowed to fly his planes there. Just fly our troops back to Egypt. Before we had another Black Hawk Down were Delta Force was stripped down by the civilians' dead bodies dragging through the streets.
    Soviet Union troops in Africa on the same base as Americans.
    Is there anything left to do, for the soldiers stuck in Africa is for the Pentagon to
    release them from the two Africa base to get on a Russian airplane.
    It's not a checkmate for Putin, but it is. A check against Joe BIDEN'S Administration.
    Cuz obviously the CIA Playbook. It is from the 40s. The two African leaders both countries were installed by the CIA. That's why they're not allowed to fly in or out.
    Word from the corner, Mouse.
    oh yeah, CIA, you can swim out from the middle of Africa because I guarantee you Putin isn't going to help you.

  31. 😂😂😂😂 maybe they can become friends instead of enemies hell they're fighting a rich man war tell them to send their own children in place of these
