Niger's military junta has revoked a military accord with the US, halting US military operations in the country. The decision follows a recent visit by U.S. officials that the junta claims did not follow diplomatic protocol. Niger hosts a drone base used by the US to target Islamist militants in the region. The US currently has approximately 1,000 troops stationed in Niger.
