Bellum Acta - Intel, Urgent News and Archives
🇫🇷🇳🇪 Our trusted sources in the French army command said that following an urgent meeting on Monday, a working group was set up to evacuate French forces from Niger. And it is planned to evacuate them not to Chad, but directly to France. Negotiations are already…
🇫🇷🇳🇪 We were also informed that the leadership of French intelligence DGSE was reprimanded by President Macron "for blatant unprofessionalism" for their failure to predict the coup in Niger in time.
It is noteworthy that just a month ago, DGSE boasted that it knew in advance about the plans of the rebellion of PMC "Wagner" in Russia.

🇧🇫🇳🇪 Burkina Faso troops join raid on militants in Niger
The armies of Burkina Faso and Niger have killed an unknown number of militants in joint operations, local media has reported.
The attack comes a week after Burkina Faso’s parliament approved the deployment of troops to Niger in order to fight the Islamist uprising along the countries' common border.
Burkina Faso’s state-owned RTB TV channel said on Sunday that raids where launched after troops spotted “a column of terrorists” leaving Niger for Burkina Faso.
Joint forces “neutralised these attackers in pairs on 100 motorbikes and destroyed most of their logistics” in eastern Burkina Faso's Kantchari area, the channel added.

🇮🇷🇳🇪 Iran pursues ties with Niger's military regime
Iran's president Ebrahim Raisi has said that his country is ready to co-operate with Niger in "economically beneficial areas".
President Raisi made the comment on Wednesday, following a meeting between Bakary Yaou Sangaré, who assumed the role of Niger's foreign affairs minister after a military coup in July, and his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
Iranian president praised Niger's "desire for independence” and “resistance against the European hegemonic policies”, which he said signalled Africa’s “real transition from colonialism".
In September, President Raisi met the foreign minister of Burkina Faso’s junta Olivia Rouamba. During the meeting, he applauded African countries for their “resistance in the face of colonialism and terrorism”.

🇺🇸🇳🇪 US military wraps up withdrawal from Niger next week
The last US troops are expected to leave Air Base 201 near the city of Agadez in central Niger on Monday, two American defense officials told the media. It was the last base after the US left another one in Niamey in July.
The US spent over $100 million on Air Base 201 and stationed 1,000 counterterrorism troops there.
The military withdrawal was initiated in March after a Nigerien military spokesperson said the country's transitional government, which took power in a coup in July 2023, had terminated the military agreement with the US with immediate effect, citing the interests of the Nigerien people.

🇳🇬🇳🇪 Nigeria and Niger sign security deal, despite rift since coup
Nigeria and Niger have signed a deal to boost their security cooperation, the Nigerian military said on Thursday, despite tensions between the neighbours since a coup in Niger a year ago.
"Both parties reaffirmed their commitment to resuming and strengthening collaboration, with a view to ensuring regional stability and security," a Nigerian military statement said after the signing of a memorandum of understanding by the nations' defence chiefs in Niamey, Niger's capital, on Wednesday.
Ties between the two countries soured after Niger's junta toppled Mohamed Bazoum and the July 2023 coup has also split the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), raising questions about the fight against Islamist violence in the region.
ECOWAS threatened to invade Niger if diplomatic efforts to restore the democratic government failed, prompting Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali to pull out of the 15-country bloc in January.
