BREAKING: Coup Against Niger Using U S  Military Troops Backfires 

Just a few weeks ago, the United States declared the military takeover
in Niger as a coup. According to the US Constitution, the US cannot
establish relations or offer aid to a country that has experienced a
coup. As a result, $500 million in aid to Niger was suspended. This
raised questions about why the US took so long to make this decision.
Some speculate that the US did so after pressure from France.
However, suspending aid also posed a challenge for the US military
and its drone base presence in Niger. It seemed difficult to cut aid and
still maintain a military presence there.
Earlier, there were reports suggesting that the US might be preparing
to withdraw from Niger, including its drone base and all ties. However,
a recent event in the US Senate shed light on the US elites&#39; thinking.
Senator Rand Paul presented a resolution in the Senate that called for
the withdrawal of US troops from Niger. The voting on this resolution
surprised many and revealed the true intentions of the US regarding
Niger.
But what exactly happened in the Senate and how is the US plotting
against Niger? Recently, the US Senate rejected Senator Rand Paul&#39;s
proposal to withdraw US troops from Niger after the military coup. The
resolution faced a significant defeat with only five Republicans, four
Democrats, and independent Senator Bernie Sanders supporting
Senator Paul&#39;s position. His measure aimed to direct President Joe
Biden to withdraw all US troops from Niger within 30 days, invoking
Congress&#39;s War Powers as outlined in the US Constitution.
The resolution highlighted that as of June, the US had over 1,000
troops in Niger, making it the second-largest US military presence on
the African continent. Senator Paul criticized President Biden for
relying on post-9/11 War Powers to justify the troop presence in Niger,
arguing that it did not align with the situation in Africa.
