There’s another war brewing – this time on the African continent.

The United States has ordered the partial evacuation of its embassy in Niger following last week’s coup.

The BBC is reporting that hundreds of foreign nationals have already been evacuated from the country.

Coup leader Gen Abdourahamane Tchiani has warned against “any interference in the internal affairs” of the country.

Niger is a significant uranium producer and lies on a key migration route to North Africa and the Mediterranean.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told Niger President Mohamed Bazum in a telephone conversation that Washington intends to seek the return of power to the legitimate government of this African country. This is stated in a written statement by the head of the press service of the State Department, Matthew Miller.

Members of Niger’s presidential guard announced on Wednesday night that they had overthrown President Mohamed Bazoum. The group, which is calling itself the National Council for the Safeguarding of the Country, named Gen. Abdourahmane Tchiani as the country’s new leader on Friday.

While Blinken issued warnings on Saturday, France and the European Union opted to cut off financial assistance to the country, maintaining that Bazoum is “only legitimate president of Niger” and calling for his return to power, according to Al Jazeera.

The President of Côte d'Ivoire announced the readiness of the country's armed forces to take part in the invasion of Niger.

The media also reported that since yesterday, Nigeria has cut off electricity supplies to neighboring Niger, where a coup took place.

Niger plays an important role for Western countries. There are their troops, the American base of military pilots for France. For the latter, relations with Niger are strategically important .

Niger’s civil society mobilizes the nation to fight for freedom from foreign interference

By Sam Mednick, AP August 3, 2023

NIAMEY, Niger (AP) — Niger ‘s ruling junta and civil society groups called on the nation to mobilize in the capital on Thursday to fight for the country’s freedom and push back against foreign interference.

“We are talking about the immediate departure of all foreign forces,” Mahaman Sanoussi, interim coordinator for the M62 civil society group that’s organizing the protest, told The Associated Press. “(We’ll mobilize) against all forms of threats to continue the struggle for the sovereignty of the people. The dignity of the Nigerian people will be respected by all without exception.”

The march falls on the West African nation’s independence day from its former colonial ruler, France, and as anti-French sentiment spikes, more than one week after mutinous soldiers ousted the country’s democratically elected president. Protests are expected throughout the capital, Niamey, to push back against foreign meddling.

The coup has been strongly condemned by Western countries, many of which saw Niger as the last reliable partner for the West in efforts to battle jihadis linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group in Africa’s Sahel region. Russia and Western countries have been vying for influence in the fight against extremism.

Not everyone is hostile to last week’s coup in Niger. Neighboring Burkina Faso and Mali have taken the unusual step of declaring that foreign military intervention in Niger would be a declaration of war against them, too. Both have had coups in recent years.

I sat down with @StellaEscoTV of @OANN to explain the reason for the recent coup in Niger as the US begins slow and belated evacuation from the West African nation, even as Russian influence expands.

Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns

Misinformation is driving this mania. You have leftwing panicmongers like MSNBC’s O’Donnell predicting ‘millions’ will die if churches are ‘packed’ on Easter. Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates. By Madeline Osburn, The Federalist, March 25, 2020 As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis. That is not the case. A scan of statements made by media, state governors, local leaders, county judges, and more show many relying on the same source, an online mapping tool called  COVID Act Now.  The website says it is “built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response i...

Certain people made billions from 9/11, it looks like many more bosses were given a heads-up just before Covid-19 exploded! Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy? In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly “lucky” all at the same time? One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers, unlike anything th...
