In explaining why Niger is kicking out U.S. troops, Niger's prime minister tells @Rachel_Chason that U.S. officials tried to dictate which countries Niger could partner with in a manner he viewed as disrespectful: He said the Nigerien leaders took particular umbrage at remarks by Molly Phee, the State Department’s top official for African affairs, who he said had urged the government during a March visit to Niamey to refrain from engaging with Iran and Russia in ways objectionable to Washington if Niger wanted to continue its security relationship with the United States. He also said Phee had further threatened sanctions if Niger pursued a deal to sell uranium to Iran. “When she finished, I said, ‘Madame, I am going to summarize in two points what you have said,’” recounted Zeine, who has led negotiations with the United States. “First, you have come here to threaten us in our country. That is unacceptable. And you have come here to tell us with whom we can have relationships, which is also unacceptable. And you have done it all with a condescending tone and a lack of respect.” In response to Zeine’s comments, a U.S. official said: “The message ... was a coordinated U.S. government position, delivered in a professional manner, in response to valid concerns about developments in Niger. The CNSP was presented with a choice, not an ultimatum, about whether they wished to continue their partnership with us, respectful of our democratic values and national security interests.

Imagine someone coming into your home a telling what you can’t and can’t do
Business with the west

Dictate who you can trade with
Undermining your political leaders and funding opposition
Being treated second class in your own country
Business with Russia and China

Imagine that, a career swamper showing up with a shitty attitude.
Molly Phee looks exactly like you think she would.

Niger was under French control. They hate the French. The only reason the US was there was to reinforce French policy.

Under Biden the US has lost a lot of Global respect... Their threats have fallen flat and are snickered at... Biden had lost Africa to the Russians... This will prove to be a huge loss...
