I like his office. He does not waste the Summer months. What's the coup about in Niger? This is from Reuters. "The military coup in Niger, which began unfolding on Wednesday, has been widely condemned by neighbours and international partners including the United States, the United Nations, the African Union, the European Union and former colonial power France. They have all refused to recognise the new leaders led by General Abdourahamane Tiani. Niger has been a key ally in Western campaigns against insurgents linked to al Qaeda and Islamic State in the Sahel, and there are concerns that the coup could open the door to greater Russian influence there. Thousands of French troops were forced to withdraw from neighbouring Mali and Burkina Faso following coups there." One must wonder if there is Russian mischief behind the formation of this coup. This is the kind of thing they do as seen in Georgia and Ukraine.
