Crowd cheered watching the first convoy of French soldiers being escorted out of Niger by the local military.

Earlier this year, Niger’s ruling generals, who ousted the pro-Paris president and took control of the country in July, ordered France to withdraw its 1,500 troops.

The final destination of the French convoys has not been officially announced, but according to Niger’s authorities, the troops are heading in the direction of Chad.

On the same day, the United States formally declared that Niger’s president was removed in a military coup, consequently suspending economic aid to the country. This decision, however, will not affect the presence of 1,100 American troops and a major US drone base there.
