US troops in Niger have been restricted to the American military bases and US embassy in Niger, as the Biden administration works to restore democratically-elected President Mohamed Bazoum to power.
A US military official said the approximately 1,000 troops were “retrograded” back to base last week, shortly after Bazoum was seized by members of the presidential guard on Wednesday. Another US official confirmed the troops are restricted to the bases and the embassy, but said all of the forces were already at their respective stations when the attempted coup occurred.

Hey, I have an idea... Let’s start WW3 over Niger...

“ US troops in Niger have been restricted to the American military bases and US embassy in Niger”
I think I see the problem here.
Two words, repeated twice in a sentence. “In Niger”.
Let’s have “US troops in Brownsville” or “US troops in El Paso” instead.
If it sticks a finger in the eye of DC and Macron, I approve. Maybe when those two despotic regimes are gone, we can start building a different reality.
