As a retaliatory measure against the NATO countries for their support for Kiev, Moscow continues to use its gas pipelines as a weapon of economic destruction,

Hence this frantic race by Ukraine's allies to diversify their sources of supply.

(…) The search for new gas routes therefore led the German Eagle to make Senegal an alternative solution to the blackmail of the Russian Bear.

Indeed, the country of Léopold Sédar Senghor shares with its Mauritanian neighbor an important gas field whose reserves are estimated at around 1,400 billion m3 and whose first deliveries are expected, on the Senegalese side, in 2023. Better, President Macky Sall has assured his host of Senegal's commitment to supplying the European market.

 Officially, we talked about security and to a certain extent the fight against irregular immigration,

in Guinea.

But it is increasingly accepted that Western countries, concerned about the presence of Wagner in Mali, would like to use Niger to curb this expansionist aim of the Kremlin. 

 passes for a compatible partner for European countries in particular.

In a context of increasingly widespread Western protest in the Sahel, Niger should serve as a laboratory for experimenting with partnership models that can be better perceived by Africans. 

 this stay in Niger by the German Chancellor is the mark that this country is aligned with the international community in the fight against terrorism in the Sahel led by Niger, in collaboration with France and other African countries. .

Barkhane and Takuba have the green light from Germany and Operation Gazelle, a specifically German training operation, based in Tillia, which is a success in the opinion of Nigerien soldiers, Gazelle, therefore, will experience a time extension: it will continue beyond next December.

Olaf Scholz strengthens hope in Niger in the fight against terrorism

Once again,

The importance for nations of forming a common front against an enemy who strikes relentlessly in a totally asymmetrical war that he imposes on his vis-à-vis is coming back into fashion.

No country alone, no matter how firepower its army, will be able to defeat the terrorist Hydra.

(…) And it is this vision of cooperation in development and the fight against insecurity shared by Olaf Scholz and his Nigerien host Mohamed Bazoum that is successful today.

Witness the aerial contribution of the French Barkhane force and the Nigerien army, which recently gave a boost to Burkinabè soldiers from the Bourzanga detachment in the center-north, to neutralize more than 40 terrorists (…).

 the only downside that dampens the enthusiasm of those involved in the fight against terrorism in West Africa is the cavalier and suicidal behavior of the military junta in power in Bamako, which, while composing with the Russian private security company Wagner, has just withdrawn Mali from the G5 Sahel, while the French forces Barkhane and European Takuba are forced to leave the banks of the Djoliba
