President Macron recently announced that by the end of the year, all troops will be pulled out of Niger, along with the French ambassador after a coup and new regime took power. The coup took place in July, but France has kept 1500 troops stationed in the country, claiming that they didn't view the new leadership as "legitimate". This is now the third country in Africa France will be forced to depart along with Mali and Burkina Faso.
