The Black Alliance for Peace’s Africa Team and U.S. Out of Africa Network Applauds Niger’s Move to Expel AFRICOM

Read Time: 3 minutes

The Black Alliance for Peace’s (BAP) Africa Team and U.S. Out of Africa Network (USOAN) commends Niger for its decision to expel the U. S. Africa Command (AFRICOM). We urge all African nations to reject U. S. neo-colonialism and remove AFRICOM from their territories. AFRICOM’s presence has led to an exponential increase in terrorism, with more civic casualties resulting from AFRICOM strikes.

Niger’s National Council for the Safeguarding of Our Homeland (CNSP) has declared the U. S. presence in their territory illegal, highlighting the erosion of Niger’s sovereignty since the establishment of U. S. military bases in 2014. Despite Niger’s declaration, the U.S. refusals to leave, dismissing Niger’s position as Russian influence. Local organizations in Niger have openly denounced U. S. interference in the country’s ongoing transition process and the people have demonstrated in front of the U. S. embassy in Niamey to demand the immediate departure of AFRICOM.

BAP and the USOAN emphasize the need for African people to control their continent’s destiny and we oppose all foreign military and all forms of imperialist intervention in Africa. BAP also expresses concern over AFRICOM’s plans to expand by placing new drone bases in Benin, Ivory Coast, and Ghana. We deny such expansions and call for an end to all military agreements between African nations and the U. S.

BAP’s Africa Team and USOAN will closely monitor the unfolding situation in Niger.
 

U.S. Out Africa! Shut Down AFRICOM!

The Black Alliance for Peace Africa team (or BAP in English) and the network U.S.A. Clear! (or USOAN in English) congratulate Niger on its decision to expel the American Command for Africa (AFRICOM). We urge all African nations to reject American neocolonialism and to expel AFRICOM from their territory. The presence of AFRICOM has led to an exponential increase in terrorism, with more civilian casualties resulting from the AFRICOM strikes.

The National Council for the Safeguarding of the Fatherland (CNSP) has declared illegal the presence of the United States on its territory, highlighting the erosion of Niger’s sovereignty since the establishment of American military bases in 2014. Despite the Niger Declaration, the United States refuses to leave, and treat the position of Niger as a mere expression of russian Influence. Local organizations in Niger openly denounced US interference in the ongoing transition process in the country and the population demonstrated outside the US Embassy in Niamey to demand the immediate departure of AFRICOM.

The BAP and USOAN underscore the need for African peoples to control the fate of their continent and oppose any foreign military intervention and any form of imperialist intervention in Africa. The BAP also expresses its concern about the expansion plans of the AFRICOM, which plans to install new bases of drones in Benin, Ivory Coast and Ghana. We denounce this expansion and call for an end to all military agreements between African nations and the United States.

The BAP Africa team and USOAN will closely monitor the evolution of the situation in Niger.

The U.S.A. Get out! ! Down with AFRICOM !
