Reuters: France in Talks With Niger Officials Over Troops Withdrawal - Le Monde 

PARIS (Reuters) - France has started talks with some Niger army officials over withdrawing some troops from the African country following a coup in July, Le Monde reported on Tuesday. 

At this stage, neither the number of French soldiers involved nor the timing of their departure have been decided, Le Monde said, citing several unidentified French sources close to the matter. 

The talks are not being held with putsch leaders, but with regular army officials with whom France has long cooperated, the newspaper said.

  4. Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio will be sentenced after being convicted of seditious conspiracy related to his efforts to disrupt the 2020 presidential election certification on Jan. 6, 2021.
    The Department of Justice seeks 33 years in prison for Enrique Tarrio, which would put him behind bars for far longer than any other person charged in connection with the pro-Trump Capitol riot.
    The DOJ has charged more than 1,100 defendants in relation to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
