U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, Kurt M. Campbell met today with the Prime Minister of the Niger Military Junta and Accepted the Demands of the Nigerien Government for the Total Withdrawal of roughly 1,000 U.S. Soldiers and Airmen located at Airbase 101 near the Capital of Niamey and Airbase 201 near Agadez, with this move expected to Significantly Impede on the Anti-Terror Operations of U.S. Africa Command (USAFRICOM) and other Allied Nations in the Region.

USA ametnikud kinnitasid, et USA nõustus oma väed Lääne-Aafrika riigist Nigerist välja viima.

USA välisministeeriumi ametnik ütles, et reedesel kohtumisel võtsid asevälisminister Kurt Campbell ja Nigeri peaminister Ali Lamine Zeine „kohustuse algatada Niameys vestlused, et hakata kavandama USA vägede korrapärast ja vastutustundlikku väljaviimist Nigerist“. Riigis on umbes 1000 sõjaväelast, vahendab CBS.

Kaks ametnikku „kinnitasid kahepoolsete suhete tähtsust ja nõustusid tegema koostööd ühist huvi pakkuvates valdkondades“, kirjutati avalduses.

Niger on mänginud keskset rolli USA sõjaväe operatsioonides Aafrika Saheli piirkonnas. Washington on mures vägivalla leviku pärast, kuna kohalikud rühmitused on lubanud lubanud olla truud Al Qaidale ja Islamiriigi rühmitusele.

USA-l on Nigeris Agadezi linnas õhuväebaas, mida kasutatakse seirelendudeks ja muudeks operatsioonideks. Ühendriigid on investeerinud sadu miljoneid dollareid Nigeri sõjaväe väljaõppesse.

Suhted Nigeri ja lääneriikide vahel on katkenud pärast demokraatlikult valitud presidendi kukutamist mullu juulis. Nigeri hunta on sellest ajast alates käskinud lahkuda Prantsusmaa vägedel ja pöördunud julgeoleku tagamiseks hoopis Venemaa poole. Selle kuu alguses saabuski riiki Vene sõjavarustus ja instruktorid, kes õpetavad nigerlasi Vene masinaid kasutama.

Another scandal in Nigeria.

Three Americans are accused of being involved in a failed coup attempt in Congo that left multiple people dead.

According to the Democratic Republic of Congo military, they stopped an attempted coup near the presidential palace.

Among the 50 people who were involved were three Americans who have been arrested.

A passport for one of these Americans is now spreading online, a 36-year-old U.S. citizen born in Maryland. (WaPo)

US ambassador to Congo, Lucy Tamlyn has acknowledged the involvement of US citizens in a recent statement.

The coup was allegedly led by US-based Congolese politician Christian Malanga.

He was killed at the presidential palace after he resisted arrest.

What we know :

- Insurgents in Kinshasa, Congo didn’t have rockets/RPGs , just small rifles. The presence of drones was a rumour. But they managed to penetrate in Gombe, and overtook Palais de la nation/ présidence

- the assailants were allegedly sent by a wealthy man Christian Malanga from Congo central who lives in US.

- they obviously did not have brain for the operation as coup d’état , given their military objective , and equipments.

- their first objective was Kamerhe , they failed to take him out ,then fled to Palais de la nation

- A lot of them were neutralized , the operation lasted 2,5 hours

- given the current competition in National Assembly this looks like a hit poorly planned . The question is who ordered it ?

Militarily, a quarter of a military company made their way to the most respected residential area in all Congo, downtown Kinshasa , area with several key government institutions of the DRC, including the Palais de la Nation, the Central Bank of the Congo, various ministries, media organizations, and diplomatic representations

@kabumba_justin is lying that they are foreigners but they speak lingala , and they have old Zairean flag on fatigues

In Africa, Things have not changed . The only classic coups were led by capturing national tv / radio,u objectively don’t achieve anything by entering in empty palais. This is a band of thugs who were simply working as hitmen, in frenzy

Keenia president William Ruto teatas, et maksude tõstmist sisaldanud seadus, mis vallandas ulatuslikud ja ohvreid nõudnud protestid, võetakse tagasi.

«Ma annan järele ja seetõttu ei allkirjasta 2024. aasta rahandusseadust ja see võetakse tagasi,» ütles Ruto. «Rahvas on rääkinud.»

Samas hoiatas riigipea, et rahandusseaduse tagasivõtmine tähendab märkimisväärset puudujääki muu hulgas põlluharijate ja kooliõpetajate abistamiseks mõeldud arenguprogrammide rahastamises, kuna Ida-Aafrika riik püüab vähendada oma välisvõla koormat.
