American air base Niger. Finished in 2020.
With regard to the very recent events as now occurring Niger.
The American occupation of Air Base 201 now threatened by the Russian PMC Wagner?
"Nigerien Air Base 201 in Agadez, Niger is the largest Air Force-led Construction project in recent history. It’s 6000-foot [2,000 meters] 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."
Such an American military presence and massive infrastructure project the Sahel I find to be surprising!
See the You Tube video:
