  1. I’ll be extremely interested to hear from some of the esteemed members of this sub how France is ultimately responsible for this somehow. Hot takes incoming.

  2. I thought I was doing pretty good by keeping track of Sudan and Haiti. Didn’t know Niger was the worst insurgency in the world, apparently. Are there external players or is it just civil war?

  3. Unfortunately, this was predictable. The junta relying on the russische Afrika Korps (ex-Wagner) means that they don’t have much to oppose to the djihadists.
