The commander, who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press, said Bidika had been communicating with several terrorists they were looking for, and that he had escaped during the raid; four of his lieutenants were detained at Aguelal and sent to a Niamey prison instead.

Aguelal, west of Arlit, is near the Algerian border, and the secret American base there is a recent one. Young men and women from all over West Africa ride buses to Agadez, and then pay hundreds of dollars to sit on top of yellow water jugs in the back of Toyota Hilux pickup trucks, holding onto pieces of wood to keep them aboard as they speed across the desert to enter Libya on their way to Europe. Up until , the pickups were escorted north in convoys led by the Niger military for safety, and the migrants were made to pay bribes to Nigerien officials at checkpoints along the way.

Agadez depended on this industry for vital income, and the authorities profited from bribes the migrants paid. Things began to change when the city attracted media attention for the migration activity. In , the Nigerien government passed a law that targeted smugglers and human traffickers. With the legal backing and the political push from the European Union, by the government began arresting the drivers of migrants and impounding their vehicles.

It also carried out patrols in the desert to turn back cars before they reached Libya. Once again, Western governments were forcing the Nigerien government to engage in legally dubious activity. But since , the central Libyan government recognized by the U. The Niger government also shut down a popular gold-mining site in the north of the country for opaque reasons, compounding the economic hardship. The European response has been to ratchet up the number of soldiers in the country. The Italians opened an embassy in Niger in January , shortly after they announced that they were sending troops to the north of the country to fight migration.

A young man who worked in the cafeteria of the base showed me the agreement he signed with the contractor that runs the cafeteria, Sakom. Most food, other than some fruits and vegetables, is shipped in from abroad. The Americans have done very little to help people in Agadez, other than holding a handful of workshops that appeared to be ineffective. A strong gust of wind kicked up sand outside the building we were sitting in, and passing residents leaned forward and shielded their faces with their elbows.

Other workshops have included manuals on hand-washing and sexually transmitted infections, while soldiers donated some benches and notebooks to a local school. In , rebels and jihadi groups allied with Al Qaeda took over northern Mali following a Tuareg rebellion.

By staying behind their barbed-wire fences and providing little economic support to Agadez, the Americans run the risk of destabilizing the region. President Mahamadou Issoufou speaks to journalists after voting in Niamey on March 20, The man in the middle is Mahamadou Issoufou, the president of Niger. In power for six years, he has adopted a clear strategy for trying to keep control of things — by aligning himself closely with Europe and the United States, while presiding over an electoral system that his opponents describe as rigged. This is not a recipe for stability in a country that has had little of it since its founding in , at the end of French colonial rule.

Until migration and terrorism, uranium was the focal point of outside, particularly French, interest in Niger. Amadou is now in exile in France, having been released from prison temporarily for medical treatment. Issoufou has taken unprecedentedly pro-Western stances on a number of key issues. He has allowed for the rapid expansion of the French and American troop presence, as well as opening up the country to German and Italian soldiers. And Issoufou has rewarded those in his administration who follow his vision: Police officers stand guard during an official ceremony in Agadez, Niger, Jan.

His phone began buzzing, and he paused our conversation to take a call. In , he was a leading member of the civil society opposition to Tandja, the president at the time, and supported the coup that overthrew him in February of that year. Amadou was named leader of the transitional legislative body by the junta, and when he helped usher elections that Issoufou won, he was rewarded with the post of justice minister. He has held the post ever since. As a region, West Africa is no stranger to military power seizures.

In neighboring Burkina Faso, the American-trained elite presidential guard carried out a coup that eventually failed in , while an American-trained captain named Amadou Sanogo led a destabilizing coup in Mali in Niger has had four coups since A band performs at the French cultural center in Agadez, Niger, Jan.

Many people I spoke to in Niger feel their country has had its autonomy usurped by Westerners. Is the American presence helping security at all? Forces are in Niger to work by, with, and through Nigerien partners to promote stability and security while enabling them to address their security threats.

Prior to the disastrous mission in Tongo Tongo, the U. Instead of Cheffou, they found food and other goods indicating he and his men were in the area. Rather than going directly back to their Nigerien base in Ouallam, they continued looking for him and when night fell, they set up camp 5 kilometers from Tongo Tongo, where the village chief had been known to give false alerts, according to a top Nigerien military officer with direct knowledge of the operation. By spending the night along the border area, they heightened the risks that they faced. There is talk of a sort of competition between the French and U.

It is precisely this logic that is so dangerous: American troops are deployed in an advisory and training role. But once on the ground, there is a tendency to push for more activity and engagement, and the Nigeriens have to consistently push back against that. The risks the Americans take result in mistakes, and the mistakes, rather than leading to a reconsideration of the risks, can lead to more escalation. After Tongo Tongo, for example, Niger authorized the U.
