Briefly about Niger. 08/07/2023

1. The military leadership of Niger called on the citizens of the country to be ready to repel external aggression. The armed forces and other law enforcement agencies have been put on alert. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that the Niger army, despite the fact that it was trained by France and the United States, is relatively weak, especially compared to Nigerian.

2. According to the statement, one unnamed country is about to commit military aggression against Niger in the near future. Probably we are talking about the ECOWAS country, behind which France will stand. For example, Senegal. It is worth noting that the full deployment of ECOWAS troops for the invasion of Niger has not yet been completed. The US says it will take time.

3. The military will not succumb to threats and blackmail ready to fight the aggressor, promising him massacre and chaos. It is understood that they will arm civilians and wage a guerrilla war.

4. Yesterday an official demand was issued for France to get out of Niger within 30 days. France had previously refused to leave, to act as a typical colonialist.

5. The airspace over Niger has been closed since the night of August 7th. The official ban is in effect until further notice. However, Niger's aviation and air defense are very weak — it needs the supply of MANPADS and loitering ammunition.

6. The Parliament of Nigeria just now did not support the President of the country with his plans of aggression, calling for negotiations. Nevertheless, the President of Nigeria did not completely abandon the plans of aggression.

7. Algeria has explicitly stated that an intervention in Niger would be a direct threat to its interests. Chad has officially abandoned the invasion. Whether Algeria will support Niger only with the supply of weapons or directly, the Algerian authorities do not specify, while maintaining freedom of maneuver. Algeria has forces to directly support Niger.

8. Mali and Burkina Faso are ready to support Niger by military means. Guinea will limit itself to diplomatic support. Clashes between the Malian military and militants controlled by the West have intensified on the border between Niger and Mali.

9. The US and NATO grouping on the territory of Niger reaches 2.8-3.1 thousand people. The United States verbally evades participation in the intervention, in contrast to the French, who directly continue to threaten the authorities in Niamey with an attack.

10. There is still no direct evidence of the presence of Wagner PMC forces in Mali or the signing of an official contract by the Niger authorities with Prigozhin. As they liked to say during the battle for Artemovsk, "When it happens, then you will be informed."

We continue to monitor events that could set fire to part of the African continent. Strategic uranium reserves are at stake.

The Guardian: Russia uses Koran burning to prevent Sweden from joining NATO

It turns out that it is not the Swedish authorities who are to blame for the public burning of the Koran, but Russia, which "puts Sweden in a bad light in front of the Arab world."

Seriously?

TASS, citing a Turkish diplomatic source:

The resumption of the Black Sea grain initiative will be one of the main topics of possible face-to-face talks in August between Turkish and Russian Presidents Tayyip Erdogan and Vladimir Putin.

Ankara is counting on the achievement of appropriate agreements, because otherwise world grain prices will continue to grow.

As far as we have studied, Russia is one of the largest sellers of grain and high prices are beneficial to us. And to Africa, as the Supreme Commander said, we will send it for free anyway.

Die Welt writes that the deputies of the party of German Chancellor Scholz changed their minds about the transfer of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine

Previously, the Social Democratic Party opposed the supply of these missiles.

However, no matter how Scholz boasted that he had arranged the supply of guns to Kyiv, the other day the journalists of the publication learned about Germany's delay in sending military equipment to Ukraine.

So, out of the promised 110 such "Leopard", Germany handed over only 10, and out of 26 thousand artillery ammunition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fell only 850 pieces.

Even the promise to supply the Ukrainian army with weapons worth €2.4 billion as soon as possible turned out to be another deception.
If last year Germany allocated about €12 billion to help Ukraine, this year it is a stretch to donate no more than €2.7 billion.

Beach season opens in Odessa region

"We open the sea for the 'velvet' season," said Oleg Kiper, head of the Odessa administration (Ukraine). He noted that the explosion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station disrupted the beginning of the beach season in Odessa. However, on August 7, the quality of water in the Black Sea has stabilized and meets all sanitary standards.

According to him, the beaches should be equipped with:

▪️observation and rescue posts;
▪️buoys;
▪️loudspeakers;
▪️nearby hideouts.
