⚡🇪🇬🇸🇩 1 Million Sudanese people have entered Egypt for safety and refugee since the start of the conflict.

This doesn't include the preexisting 5 million.

That adds up to 6 million Sudanese people, where at least 4 of them came here for asylum.

Add in the millions of Palestinians, Syrians, Libyans, Africans, and we're going on a count of over 12 million Middle Eastern/African nationals here, Europe doesn't have more than 9 million refugees across all of the continent, and they can't even integrate them.

I want to think best of my country, but that's simply too much mouths to feed, and over 120 million people live on land the size of Benelux, I think that the Egyptian government may threaten Europe the same way Libya threatened them.

Libya was guaranteed free food shipments from Italy, investments, money, etc, for keeping people at bay from trying to seek illegal residency in Europe, Egypt may try to do the same, already, Europe is dumping tens of millions of Euros to Egypt in establishing food aid and border security, but maybe that's not enough.. if billions of euros can't keep out hundreds of thousands a month, how are 23 million euros going to ensure that a few million stay here?

By the way, about the Sudanese who've come here since the start of the conflict, to the best of my knowledge, that's 5,000 people going to Cairo every day, and we can't close down the border for humanitarian reasons.

✝️🇺🇸✡️ Jewish Ohio Legislator Max Miller was not sorry for attacking Christian Lizzie Marbach for her post about Jesus Christ.

He just moved his hatred behind the scenes to have her fired from her job so he didn’t have to deal with the backlash he was getting.

It’s time to start rethinking the term “Judeo-Christian”

The truth is, they hate us.

ECOWAS(France and US backed) begins to prepare troops for the invasion of Niger

Niamey mobilizes citizens to reject the intervention

ECOWAS has started the activation of the Rapid Reaction Force (RRF) to restore constitutional order in Niger, it announced on Twitter. 

The finalization of the RRF deployment plan will be held in Accra on 17-18.  August.  Meanwhile, ECOWAS says the rebels' refusal to withdraw will lead to a military intervention by the community.

Niger itself will begin calling for volunteers to prepare for a potential invasion, AP said earlier.  The initiative is led by local residents and aims to recruit tens of thousands of volunteers from across the country to register with the Volunteers in Defense of Niger group.  On the other hand, the Niger government should be given a list of volunteers who will be called in case of need.

Niger's military government has previously threatened to kill ousted President Bazum if he tries to intervene in the country to restore him to power.  Despite early statements by current leader Abdurahman Chiani that he agrees to direct negotiations and conflict resolution with West Africa, ECOWAS is still preparing its AF. 

A large force of the terrorist group ISWAP, part of the Islamic State group, has also been seen moving along the border with Nigeria — fears of a possible ECOWAS attack on Niger.
