Military instructors and personnel from Russia’s defence ministry arrived in Niger on April 11, Niger state television RTN reported. In a broadcast, RTN showed footage of a military cargo plane unloading gear as people in fatigues stood by. The deployment followed a recent agreement between Niger’s junta and Russian President Vladimir Putin to boost security cooperation. The arrival of Russian trainers is a sign that the West African country is building closer relations with Moscow like its junta-led neighbours. RTN also said “our airspace will now be better protected,” adding that Russia had agreed to install an anti-aircraft system in Niger.
