Seniors displaced after Yarmouth fire | SaltWire #fire #yarmouth #seniors #newsBERLIN - Germany will keep its military air transport hub in Niger's capital Niamey open for now, the defence ministry in Berlin said late on Tuesday, shortly after the European Union announced it would end its military mission in the country by June 30.

"Germany and Niger have struck a temporary agreement allowing for the continued presence of German forces in Niger," the German defence ministry said in a statement, adding that this would enable Berlin to keep the base open beyond May 31 for now. For now, the military will operate the base with a significantly reduced number of soldiers, the statement said.
