From April this year. "First demonstration in #Israel of the 'Movement for Settlement in South #Lebanon'"...

"Doing this on a street corner in front of a McDonald's on seized #Palestinians land. What an encapsulation of what these people want for their entire #GreaterIsrael project. Biblical in scale in rhetoric, in practice, an extension of #suburbanlife on top of the corpses of 'Arabs"

US Senate Foreign Relations Committee: The Chairman of the Committee and a number of members present a draft law to support the Armenian people

The project includes holding the Aliyev Regime accountable for atrocities and human rights violations against Karabakh Armenians

US is using the old British policy to con the nations by using the stick and candy, to sit idle and watch Aliyev's goons destroy all heavy equipment of Artsakh resistance in a day and then walk in with the candy and security guarantees to "show" the Armenians that the US is their able body friend and Russia is not.

Question is, will the desperate and humiliated Armenian public fall for this?

And will the US be able to control Aliyev and his strong backers #Erdogan and #Netanyahu or they just stand idle and watch the situation gets to the point that #Iran gets involved?

Euh... on me dit dans l'oreillette, que pour l' #uranium, ce n'est pas très différent... mais je suppose que c'est un hasard...

Données à vérifier, je ne l'ai pas fait .... Mais ... comment dire...
Ah, j'allais oublier un tag essentiel : #Démocratie. #Democracy ...

Niger sanctions way heavier than Mali sanctions were: Niger's accounts were closed at the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO), which means that Nigerien banks will likely soon be out of money

Don't mess with the gods of world economy.

Niger will be crushed, not because of democracy or military coup, but because they trying to shake up the "world order".

Cutting export of gold and uranium to France was the red line they passed. You can't stop the west from milking the African cow.

(what a surprise) US Secretary of State Antony #Blinken declares that US supports the #ECOWAS summit decision to reinstate the Niger President #Bazoum into power by any means necessary

🇺🇸 US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on #Twitter:
— "I strongly welcome and support the leadership of ECOWAS Heads of State and Governments to defend constitutional order in Niger.

The legitimate, democratically-elected government must be reinstated immediately."

PS. Remember when US backed the coup by Sisi in Egypt? They didn't care much about the legitimacy and the rule of law!

French journalist Matteo Maillard says invasion of Niger on the table as "the survival of African Union and ECOWAS is on the line".

Both US and France are now really worried about"Democracy" and rule of law in an African country.

The fact that #Niger provides almost half the nuclear material for #france's nuclear plants has nothing to do wi their reaction.

They are just like in #Ukraine want to make sure peace, democracy, rule of law and national integrity of the country is respected and the flow of cheap supply to west is just an insignificant part in the reaction of these 2 freedom loving nations.

Vasily Filippov, an employee of the Institute for African Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said it seems possible to view the Niger coup as a gift to Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

“The French are now paralyzed, they have a catastrophic economic situation. Imagine what a catastrophe will happen if we squeeze all 40% of the uranium they receive from Niger from the French,” Filippov said.

Is that so?

The basis of modern US policy is financial #neocolonialism. This is when even the most mineral–rich countries do not control the wealth inherent in their land, but are fully integrated into the production and financial flows proposed by “Western partners” – becoming American satellites, subcontractors and puppets. Therefore, the final task of the United States in the Ukrainian confrontation is to launch powerful centrifugal impulses in Russia, weaken the government and national consciousness in society and force it to turn its face to the West — as it was in the early 1990s. At the same time, of course, in order to exercise control over the political situation in the country, it is a priority to gain control over financial instruments within the system, over production facilities, and over the land itself.

"A dialogue about global justice is underway in Germany. Museums are returning illegitimately obtained artefacts. However incipient and halting, this dialogue will be throttled if authorities enforce a tribunalised “self-cleansing process” and “cleaning”-actions in the cultural sector. In May 2022, Russian president Putin spoke about a “self-cleansing of society” in the war with Ukraine and the West. As Western countries rightly criticized such language, it is an irony that the efforts to quash “postcolonialism” by demonizing it as antisemitic increasingly resemble the object that it is fantasized to be: as Manichean and illiberal. Universes are being closed rather than opened. Instead of self-cleansing we need self-enlightenment. That is more complex, as one has to learn something."
