Protesters included students and several prominent figures from the military regime, who camped in front of the National Assembly Headquarters with placards bearing different anti-US inscriptions.
The charged crowd was chorusing “Down with American imperialism” and “The people’s liberation is on the march.”
Sheikh Ahmadou Mamoudou, a prominent religious leader bellowed, “They said they (the Americans) were going to leave, so let them leave in peace and quickly.”
