Carla Martinez Machain appeared on BBC Newshour to discuss a military base in Niger, where U.S. troops have been ordered to leave by a new government and are being replaced by Russian troops. “Recently there was a military junta who overthrew the president and established a new military government. And so this is what led them to basically break off the agreement that they had with the Americans, allowing them to have a military presence there,” she said.
