Talks had been rife over alleged plans by foreign military bases, including those of the United States and France, to relocate their operations to Nigeria. This plan is purportedly driven by recent developments, particularly the expulsion of these forces from neighboring Niger and Mali.
The U.S. and its allies have been forced to move troops out of a number of African countries following coups that brought to power groups eager to distance themselves from Western governments. In addition to the impending departure from Niger, U.S. troops have also left Chad in recent days, while French forces have been kicked out of Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.
Although there had been denials of any such plans, here we look at the different dimensions of this issue.
The aim is to fully understand the complexities surrounding the possible relocation of foreign military bases to Nigeria through informed dialogue and careful consideration of all factors at play.
