Nigerien 2.

This is coolbert:

Continuing American air base 201 Niger.


My perception is that combating extremism and insurgency/terrorism west Africa strictly and traditionally a French activity. That French colonial presence from a much prior era in Africa makes the French military most appropriate for mission in the area.

See the You Tube video:


"Nigerien Air Base 201 in Agadez, Niger is the largest Air Force-led Construction project in recent history. It’s 6000-foot [2,000 meter] runway will expand the Air Force’s ability to project air power to western Africa to combat growing violent extremists in the region. 600 REDHORSE Airmen spent 1000 days battling environmental and logistical hurdles to build the critical base in the Sahel region."
