Russian troops enter base housing US military in Niger, US official says.

Russian military personnel have entered an air base in Niger hosting U.S. troops, following Niger's junta's decision to expel U.S. forces.
This development puts U.S. and Russian troops in close proximity amid increasing tension between the two countries, particularly over the conflict in Ukraine.
The situation raises questions about the fate of U.S. installations in Niger and highlights broader shifts in military alliances and geopolitical dynamics in Africa.

Most of the anti-genocide student protests have been facing police repression and violent Zionist counter-‌protestors, but agreements were reached at 5 places, after which students ended their protests:

⬥ Evergreen State College (the university of Rachel Corrie). It'll “address divestment from companies that profit from gross human rights violations and/or the occupation of Palestinian territories”, and it'll block studying abroad in all of Palestine (“where our students are denied entry based on their identity as Pali or Jews”) [more]

⬥ Rutgers Uni. [PDF] Accepts 10 scholarships for Gaza, ties with Birzeit Uni, recognition of flags, but won't stop Tel Aviv partnership. Professor union head Todd Wolfson said 150 faculty members had volunteered to support students. (2 ⁠May)

⬥ Brown Uni [PDF] (30 ⁠Apr)
⬥ Northwestern Uni [PDF] (29 ⁠Apr)
