[Regnum] The American authorities are not satisfied with the change of power in Niger, and for this reason, US intelligence agencies are discussing the possibility of eliminating the new leadership of the African country. This was reported on September 7 by the press bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of Russia.
“According to information received by the SVR, the United States is clearly not satisfied with the development of events in Niger, where an interim administration headed by General Abdurahman Chiani recently came to power as a result of a military coup ,” the report says.
It is specified that the United States authorities are considering options on how to stop the trend of turning Africa into one of the centers of power in the multipolar world, which is dangerous for the West, and also to take control of the "French" heritage "in the strategically significant Sahel."
“The White House is working on various options to “strengthen democracy” in Niger,” the report says.
It is also indicated that Washington considers it unjustified to carry out such actions with the help of the Economic Community of West African Countries (ECOWAS), which is closely associated with France.
“The Americans see the physical elimination of the “putsch leaders” who rely on the support of the majority of the population as a more “effective” option. Representatives of the American intelligence services directly discuss with partners potential perpetrators of possible assassination attempts, relying on people from the inner circle of the leaders of the transitional structures, preferably from among those who have undergone special training at Pentagon educational institutions, ”the statement adds .
Seeing the unexpected and extremely unpleasant geopolitical awakening of Africa for the United States, Washington decided to resort to the usual methods, the Foreign Intelligence Service stressed.
As reported by IA Regnum , on the night of July 27, a group of military men in Niger announced a coup d'état and the overthrow of the president. Colonel Amadou Abdramane , who led the coup , said that the military opposed the country's leader "because of the deteriorating security situation and poor governance." The command of the Niger army supported the rebels.
The president of Niger, overthrown by the rebels, on August 1, through the American newspaper Washington Post, appealed to the US authorities and the international community with a request to help restore constitutional order in the African country. On August 7, US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland arrived in Niger , who negotiated with the rebels and threatened to deprive the country of hundreds of millions of dollars of aid.
Later that day, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken did not respond to a question about the possibility of withdrawing US troops from Niger. He stated that he could not talk about the future.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on August 24 that the US strategy for Africa is offensive. He recalled the law adopted by Washington in 2022 on “obstructing the evil policy of Russia in Africa”, the name of which caused outrage in African countries, which is why the US authorities are trying to give this document a more digestible name, while maintaining its essence.

The Russians are quite good at projection, aren't they?

Hold on .... Say it true and not a Russian political ploy.
Wasn't it the LSD's that had a mega-tantrum some years ago, when a US President ok'd the removal of a few mass murdering South American Coups & Dictators?

Hold on .... Say it true and not a Russian political ploy.
Article: The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has said that the United States government is considering whether to assassinate the leaders of the new military administration in Niger Republic, who seized power in late July.
More than likely it is the Russians telegraphing their intentions if the coup leaders don't do what the Russians want.
[AFRICANEWS] Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... is not an "enemy" of the "French people", said Captain Ibrahim Traoré, transitional president, following a coup d'état, in an interview broadcast Wednesday evening by Radio Télévision du Burkina (RTB, public.
"We are not enemies with the French people, it is the policy of those who run La Belle France which poses a problem in Africa, so as long as a State is not in an imperialist spirit (...) there is no problem," he said in this interview recorded on August 31.
"We must agree to look at each other as equals" and "we must agree to review all of our cooperation," he added. Without naming it, he criticized La Belle France for having "given independence" and "placed people" at "the head of certain states".
According to him, "we have led people to sign a lot of agreements (...) which prevent us from developing", adding that "imperialist states are not just La Belle France, there are others" he said without quoting them.
Captain Ibrahim Traoré, who came to power almost a year ago through a coup d'état, also questioned the effectiveness of the presence of French soldiers in Burkina Faso as part of the anti-jihadist fight, which he demanded the departure in January.
Burkina has since been seeking new cooperation. "We have new partners who support us in terms of equipment and other things," he added, without naming them.
Burkina Faso's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olivia Rouamba, expressed her country's desire to "strengthen bilateral cooperation" with Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... on Monday during an interview in Tehran with President Ebrahim Raïssi.
A Russian delegation spoke with Mr. Traoré last week in Ouagadougou on questions of development and military cooperation and Captain Traoré went to Saint Petersburg in July for the Russia-Africa summit.
He reaffirmed his country's support for Niger, the scene of a coup d'état on July 26 with which Burkina shares the so-called "three borders" area between Mali, Niger, and Burkina, considered a den of jihadist groups.

'So, I should be feeling exactly what in this scene, DeMille?' Duckman
The most basic principle of leftists everywhere is that they be completely insulated from the absurdly predictable results of their grandiose BS. Now a couple of resourceful governors have taken them up on their long suffering offers of sanctuary.

The virtue signalers are so smug in their righteousness until they have to actually have to face the consequences of their actions. The reason the great migration that went through Ellis Island succeeded was because there was a system in place to handled them. There is none now.

They'll fit in really well with the homeless people hanging out in the underground facility entry corridors. You won't see them if you're on connecting flights where you don't leave the secured areas, just if you drive or take a shuttle to catch a flight there.

If "The Plan"™ works, invaders shall overcome our resources.
A different angle on this story from a few weeks ago.
[Stripes] Haseeb Ahmadi has a database of 100 names. It's full of the details and minutiae needed for a person who grew up in Afghanistan to get a visa for the United States.
The names on Ahmadi's list have all been approved for Special Immigrant Visas. They were contractors who, like Ahmadi, served as interpreters for the American military during the long slog of war in Afghanistan.
[GEO.TV] The military's top brass on Thursday reaffirmed that the "inimical propagandists" will face more humiliation through their desperate attempts to cause a "wedge" between the state institutions and public, the Inter-Services Public Relations said on Thursday.
"Forum re-affirmed that inimical propagandists' desperate attempts to cause wedge between the state institutions and public are indicative of their mounting desperation and will only result into more humiliation of such elements, InshaAllah," the military's media wing stated.
The statement came during the 259th Corps Commanders' Conference (CCC) presided by Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir at the General Headquarters, Rawalpindi.
The forum paid rich tribute to the supreme sacrifices of the deaders of the armed forces, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and citizens who laid their lives for the safety, security and territorial integrity of the country.
It offered fateha for the deaders and reiterated that the country and its army will continue to honour them with utmost respect and dignity. It also appreciated the commemoration of Defence and Martyrs Day on September 6 September across the country.
The participants of the conference reiterated Pakistain Army's resolve to defend the illusory sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country against all kinds of direct and indirect threats.
During the meeting, Gen Munir stressed on maintaining high standards of professionalism and motivation during operations and achieving excellence during training of the formations.
He commended the commanders for their constant focus on the wellbeing of soldiers and maintenance of morale which constituted the foundation of army's operational readiness.
"Forum reiterated to continue full support of ongoing efforts in uplifting the socioeconomic growth under the umbrella of Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) and wholeheartedly assisting the government in curbing all illegal activities which hamper economic stability, growth and investors' confidence," the ISPR stated.
Moreover, the participants were briefed on the prevalent geo-strategic environment, challenges to national security and the army's strategy in response to the evolving threat
