First major jihadi attack since coup kills 17 and wounds dozens in Niger, fueling Western fears

Insurgents killed 17 soldiers and wounded nearly 24 in the first major attack in half a year against the army in Niger, where Western powers fear a coup by the elite presidential guard last month is weakening a rare ally against jihadi violence in West Africa’s Sahel. Niger was one of the last democratic countries in the Sahel. France and the U.S. had about 2,500 military personnel training Niger’s military. France conducted joint operations with its former colony, but since the coup Paris and Washington have suspended military operations, giving the jihadis more breathing room.
