Fwd from @ Niger Army vs #Russian Armies but was there really a boy? With some regularity, every few months in the African Sahel, something "anti-Russian" happens (if we judge purely by European media). Today, in Niger's capital, an attempted armed coup was carried out, which has failed at this point. And military personnel of the Africa Corps took part in preserving power. So, what are we even talking about? On the night of August 29, Niger's capital was engulfed in fighting.
