据中新网4月20日报道,美国国务院一位高级官员透露,美国副国务卿库尔特·坎贝尔在19日与尼日尔过渡政府总理阿里·马哈曼·拉明·泽内进行会晤后,宣布美军将在未来数月内从尼日尔全面撤离。这一决定是回应尼日尔政府提出的美军撤军诉求。
坎贝尔在会晤中表示,美国政府尊重尼日尔政府的决定,并将确保撤离过程的平稳有序,同时强调了双方在安全和反恐领域的长期合作。尼日尔作为萨赫勒地区的关键国家,美军在此地的存在一直是为了协助打击极端组织和维护区域安全。
美国国务院的这一宣布标志着美国在非洲的军事部署出现重大调整。近年来,尼日尔成为了美军在非洲打击恐怖主义的重要基地,但随着当地局势的变化和尼日尔政府的政策调整,美军的撤离或将对地区安全格局产生影响。
尼日尔过渡政府未公开详细说明要求美军撤离的原因,但分析人士指出,这可能与国内政治转型、对外国军事存在的重新评估,以及对主权控制的加强有关。尽管美军撤离,美国政府表示将继续通过外交和非军事途径与尼日尔保持紧密合作,以应对共同的安全挑战。

Title: US State Department Confirms: US Military to Withdraw from Niger in Coming Months
According to Xinhua News Agency on April 20, a senior US State Department official announced that Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell, following a meeting with Niger’s transitional Prime Minister Ali Mahamanou Ramatou Zene on April 19, confirmed the US military’s full withdrawal from Niger in the coming months. This decision responds to the Nigerien government’s request for the withdrawal of US forces.
During the meeting, Campbell stated that the US government respects Niger’s decision and will ensure a smooth and orderly withdrawal, while emphasizing the long-term cooperation between the two countries in security and counterterrorism efforts. As a key country in the Sahel region, the US military presence in Niger has been instrumental in assisting efforts to combat extremist groups and maintain regional security.
This announcement by the US State Department signals a significant shift in American military deployments in Africa. In recent years, Niger has served as a crucial base for US efforts against terrorism in Africa. However, with evolving local dynamics and policy adjustments by the Nigerien government, the withdrawal may have implications for the regional security landscape.
The Nigerien transitional government has not publicly disclosed the specific reasons for requesting the US military’s withdrawal, but analysts suggest it could be linked to domestic political transitions, a reevaluation of foreign military presence, and an emphasis on asserting sovereignty. Despite the military withdrawal, the US government has indicated that it will continue to maintain close cooperation with Niger through diplomatic and non-military channels to address shared security challenges.
