French President Emmanuel Macron announced Sunday France will withdraw its troops and ambassador from Niger, two months after a military coup that overthrew President Mohamed Bazoum. It’s another setback for France’s waning presence in the Sahel region, where its decade-long counterterrorism efforts have largely failed or worsened insecurity. Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso — all former French colonies which have seen military coups in recent years — formed a mutual defense pact earlier this month to combat against armed interventions.
