Niger’s 2023 military coup led to swift changes, and many now wonder what’s next for West African security cooperation. As American troops move out and Russian troops move in, will United States counterterrorism operations continue in Niger and the Sahel region?
West African security experts Ibrahim Yahaya Ibrahim of International Crisis Group, Malik Samuel of the Institute for Security Studies, and Aneliese Bernard of Strategic Stabilization Advisors join Hudson Research Fellow James Barnett for a discussion moderated by Media Fellow Jeremy Hunt.
