Inside Niger: 'France is taking us for idiots' - BBC Africa
--- Quote ---
> In Niger, after a two month stand-off between the junta and
France, the French ambassador has left the country and French
troops are getting ready to pull out. Emmanuel Macron said he’d
taken the decision to leave the country because Niger was no
longer interested in fighting terrorism.
>
> In late July, Niger became the fourth former French colony in
the Sahel to go through a coup in just three years. The
political upheaval threatens to destabilise a region already
struggling to contain groups linked to ISIS and Al Qaeda.

France closes embassy in Niger until further notice

> "For five months, our embassy has been severely hampered" by
obstacles that have obstructed its diplomatic mission, a
spokeswoman for the French foreign ministry said in a statement.
>
> “A blockade around the embassy, travel restrictions for staff
and the refusal to allow any diplomatic personnel to travel to
Niger was a clear violation of the Vienna Convention on
Diplomatic Relations,” the statement continued.
>
> The embassy's closure – an extremely rare measure – was
decided at the same time as the withdrawal of the last French
soldiers deployed in Niger on December 22.

West Africa Forms New Anti-Colonial Alliance. Are AFRICOM and
Françafrique Doomed?
--- Quote ---
> Kambale Musavuli - The leaders of Burkina Faso, Mali, and
Niger have officially formed the Alliance of Sahel States (AES),
a new bloc that will strengthen security ties between the Sahel
states as they forge a new path away from US-French control.
This undertaking poses a threat to the West’s long-standing
ability to exert its influence through the Economic Community of
West African States (ECOWAS) and its AFRICOM military
operations. Kambale Musavuli, an analyst with the Center for
Research on the Congo-Kinshasa, joins the show to explain how
AES is challenging neo-colonialism in West Africa.
>
> Jamie Tyberg - Rather than try to ease up tensions in the
Asia-Pacific, the US is planning to host large-scale nuclear war
exercises in Korea next month. This year alone the US has
conducted over 50 war games in the region, following more than
100 US-South Korean military exercises last year. Jamie Tyberg,
a Korean organizer with Nodutdol, explains the dangers of such
US provocations on China’s doorstep and how the US’s reckless
militarism is drawing us closer to nuclear war in Korea.
>
> Layan Fuleihan - Despite the active warrant for the arrest of
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from the International
Criminal Court, the US Congress has invited him to Washington to
address a joint session on July 24. Activists with the Shut It
Down for Palestine Coalition will be mobilizing against his
visit, which they say is a bold-faced betrayal of the will of
the majority of Americans who demand a ceasefire. Layan
Fuleihan, Education Director at The People’s Forum and part of
the coalition, joins the show to explain why supporters of
Palestine must take action.
>
> Roger McKenzie - International Editor of the Morning Star
Newspaper and member of the Communist Party of Britain will join
hosts Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear to discuss his new book,
"African Uhuru: The Fight for African Freedom in the Rise of the
Global South." McKenzie, who just returned from China, will also
share insights from his visit through regions such as the
autonomous region of Xinjiang, which has garnered special
attention from the Western corporate media.
>
> Dr. Ben Becker - Days after surviving an assassination attempt
at a rally in Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump
announced Senator JD Vance (R-OH) as his running mate at the
Republican National Convention. Dr. Ben Becker, Editor-in-Chief
of BreakThrough News, joins the show to consider how the attempt
on Trump’s life will result in the further rightward lurch of
both Democrats and Republicans as Americans grow increasingly
disillusioned with both options in front of them.
