Our State Dept is a disaster but Niger should be careful. It's one thing to get tired of idiots like Blinken and Nuland and say you want a clean break - it's another if you start mingling different military forces, deny entry of supplies and things like that. If things get sporty over there and it causes harm to Americans, reprisals will be in order.
Why do we have a presence in Niger at all?
The French made that bed. They can deal with it.

Is that one of the nations with rare earth metals?
The only reason anyone internationally ever gets involved in Africa is in relation to resources or terrorism.

Don’t we need their uranium or did I imagine that?

Yes, this is the reason:

The economy of Niger centers on subsistence crops, livestock, and some of the world's largest uranium deposits. In 2021, Niger was the main supplier of uranium to the EU, followed by Kazakhstan and Russia.
