-International Events-

Niger: American forces have departed from Base 101 in the capitol of Niamey, following the mandate that forces the withdrawal of American forces within Niger. American forces are still in the process of withdrawing from Base 201 in Agadez, which is scheduled to be completed by the September 15th deadline imposed by Nigerien forces.

-HomeFront-

Nebraska: Several counties reported 911 call center outages overnight. No cause was given for the outage, and most services have since been restored.

Analyst Comments: The situation with regards to 911 call center outages in Nebraska (and parts of other Midwestern states) has been contentious for some time. This latest outage comes one day after Nebraska files a formal complaint against Windstream, the telecom company responsible for 911 call center operations. This more recent complaint is in reference to the 911 call center outages of last year.
