🇳🇪⚡️ - "We will confront any war waged against us... if we face any aggression, we will not be silent" - Niger's General Tchiani.

Tchiani also reiterated calls for "dialogue" on Niger's "constitutional foundations", perhaps a figleaf to justify the coup in the West's eyes and stave off an invasion and perhaps a genuine suggestion concerning handing power back to civilian leaders.

⚡🇪🇬 🇹🇷 Something interesting happened in Egypt, and I do not know how to explain it.

A Journalist who belongs to an allegedly neutral but publicly thought to be a Muslim Brotherhood founded journal on Twitter and Facebook and other mass media has two posts it published deleted, then they posted a photo saying their staff and sites are under cyber attacks.

Then, they come with some 6 tweet long post stating that one of their most active journalists has been arrested, the story goes that masked men came to their home, trashed it, stole his phone, kidnapped him, and now no one knows where he is.

The journal is shocked because it stated, by its own admission, that the identity of the journalists and the staff were kept a secret, yet now their journalists and staff are being hunted down like dogs in Egypt and everyone has went to hiding.

Whether they're being funded, are neutral, or the story they published, or the likes, is not of my interest, I am interested in how that information got leaked to the Egyptian government.

My educated yet unproven and schizophrenic guess is that Turkey leaked the information to Egypt.

The Journal has many associates and even a few related office buildings in Istanbul, and although they claim they never got state fundings, who knows, considering Turkey has been a refugee for Anti Regime figures, they probably thought it's safe to set up shop there.

Whether the information was given to Turkish officials (if true) was obtained willingly by cooperation, or surveillance, or any other method, and was then leaked to Egypt, I don't know, there could've been a myriad of ways.

But one thing for sure.

Anti Regime figures are not safe, not in Turkey, and maybe soon not even in the U.K, it's enough they've detained 50 members of the MB, they've refused to extend the visa or asylum of others, etc... The media of these people complaining makes you pity them, almost.

🇷🇺🇧🇭🇺🇸 Russian journalists from Izvestia uncovered a prostitution ring which supplied underage Russian girls to clients in Bahrain.

The people requesting the services of the girls were mainly Arabs from Bahrain and the surrounding countries but also American officers from the US Navy's 5th Fleet which is stationed in Manama, the capital of Bahrain.

The girls, aged between 13 and 17 years old were lured to the country by a group of Russian citizens which would seize their passports and other IDs to prevent them from escaping the country and then handing them over to their Bahraini partners.

The ring is active since at least 2013 and at least one girl died due to physical trauma at the hands of one of the abusers after trying to escape the hotel where she was housed in. They were sold to clients for between 7000 to 14.000 USD.

The journalists, which worked undercover, also found out that a lot of the girls got pregnant and were forced to carry out abortion late into the pregnancy with some giving birth to dead fetuses which would end up thrown into garbage bins.

Izvestia discovered that the Russian girls were significantly more expensive than the girls brought there from Thailand, Uzbekistan or Vietnam.
