The international situation is often involved in the whole body, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has not yet ended, other regions will naturally not be very peaceful, take Africa, there have been signs of rekindling the war, the US military has taken the lead in Africa. According to Reuters, the US military launched a collective self-defense air strike in Somalia, smashed the country's "al-Shabaab", and finally succeeded in killing 13 extremist militants. The U.S. military said the airstrike was carried out at the request of Somali authorities to help the Somali National Army recover territory.
The US military is implying that its actions are just moves, but in fact, it is an indisputable fact that the US military has provoked wars in various countries under the banner of counter-terrorism, and whether it is helping these countries or for its own interests is in the eyes of the world. And as the U.S. military took the lead in firing in Africa, the already tense situation in Africa began to become more tense, because Niger could also break out at any time. Because the Nepalese military launched a military mutiny, France pushed ECOWAS to prepare for military intervention, and rejected the Nepalese military's proposal to complete the transition of power within 3 years, and the two sides were about to break out into a big war.
Recently, the Nepalese military asked the French ambassador to leave Niger immediately, which was again rejected by France, claiming that it did not have this qualification, but the Nepalese military obviously did not intend to continue to be patient, and directly cut off the water and electricity of the French embassy. The move was strongly supported by the people of Niger, who raised the flags of Russia and other countries and demanded that the French colonialists get out immediately. If Macron does not order the withdrawal of the ambassador, or allows the ECOWAS coalition to use force to suppress the mutiny in Niger, it is likely to trigger a major war in Niger. France and ECOWAS do have a military advantage, with 1,500 French troops, 1,000 American troops and 15,000 ECOWAS coalition troops, which is several times the strength of the Nepalese army.
The Nigerian military directly controls only 1,500 troops, and even with the support of 2,000 Wagner soldiers, it is not an opponent of the ECOWAS coalition, not to mention that the United States and France have air bases in Niger. Therefore, once the Niger army is launched, it will be in a weak position, but it will not necessarily lose, because it is not only the Nepalese military that will drive the French colonists out of Niger, but also all the people of Niger. At that time, France and ECOWAS may have to deal with a Niger, where all the people are soldiers, and it is really difficult to say who will win.
Moreover, the Niger military mutiny is ultimately caused by the competition between the West represented by France and Russia for territory in Africa, and if Russia does not plan to send troops, it will lose a great opportunity to expand its power in Africa. Therefore, the chaos in Niger and Africa is actually another Russian-Ukrainian conflict, behind which is still a game between the West and Russia. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been going on for more than a year, how long will it last if Africa starts? The world is really getting messier, and it's all America's fault.
