"French army attacked a position of the National Guard in the Liptako Gorm area and freed 16 imprisoned terrorists."

... a "military aircraft" used by French forces took off at 6:01 am from N'Djamena in Chad, and deliberately "cut off all contacts with air traffic control when it entered our airspace between 6:39 and 11:00". 15 local time."

"The aerial movement carried out in Niger today was subject to a prior agreement and technical coordination with the Nigerien forces, an authorization confirmed in writing.

No attack on a Nigerien camp took place. No terrorists were freed by French forces, who have been risking their soldiers’ lives to combat this scourge in the Sahel for many years"

Uncover the perspectives and efforts of these actors, including the rejection of ECOWAS military action by Russia, and France's response to accusations by Niger coup leaders.
