Z. Ya\u2019u from the Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD), Kano.<\/p>\n<p>The letter highlighted reports of aggressive lobbying by the American and French governments targeting Nigeria and other Gulf of Guinea nations to enter new defence agreements allowing the redeployment of troops expelled from Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing concern, the signatories cautioned that Nigeria, strategically positioned among the Gulf of Guinea countries, might yield to such pressure, compromising its defence and internal security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recent expulsion of French and American troops from Niger due to their perceived ineffective presence raises questions about the efficacy of hosting foreign military bases\u201d, the citizens said in the open letter.<\/p>\n<p>They also argued that the primary goal of these bases, ostensibly to combat terrorism in the Sahel, has not been achieved, as terrorism has only escalated since those camps were established.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to clearly state that there are only dangers and no gains from such military operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe American operations in Niger Republic, for example, were ostensibly to pre-empt and uproot terrorists from the Sahel region. The result has so far been quite unimpressive if not a complete failure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is apparent that the presence of American troops and other intelligence personnel in Niger Republic is not serving any useful purpose. This is for the simple reason that terrorism, far from diminishing, has risen dramatically since the US began its operations in the region,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<p>The signatories warned against compromising Nigeria&#8217;s sovereignty and independence for short-term strategic alliances, highlighting potential adverse long-term consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, they highlighted the negative impact of hosting foreign troops, including increased living costs and environmental degradation, which disproportionately affect lower-income populations and indigenous communities.<\/p>\n<p>As of now, the presidency or the National Assembly have not publicly responded to the open letter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Northern leaders caution against relocating military
