Major General Kenneth Ekman was one of the last two U.S. service members to leave Niger on Sunday .
Ekman oversaw the withdrawal of about 1,100 American service members, weapons, drones and equipment.
The withdrawal has created a massive hole in the United States ’ ability to monitor the growing violent extremist threat.
The most lethal violent extremist organization threat in the world resides in West Africa , and it resides in the Sahel .
The region has become more opaque, says JNIM chief Ekman .
The most important country that was most important on counterterrorism efforts was Niger , he says.
To date, to date, Russian presence in Niger has been quite limited, says Ekman .
Ekman: "We caution them of the malign impacts of partnering, particularly with Russian PMCs who have yet to help anybody from a security perspective. And then their methods are abhorrent to us".
