🇳🇪 🏴‍☠️ The situation in Niger is still boiling

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.

Happy Friday, ☦️ ✝️

Attached are some articles in reference to the recent increase in Israel's actions towards Christians within the region. Not only has the Israeli government built the well known "open-air prison" of Palestine during its occupation but since the (illegitimate) states inception it has systematically oppressed Christians. In a later post I will trend the flight of Christians from the region since Israel's inception and the causes but for now, some articles on current affairs are linked below.

One of the hardest things to do is persuade the American Evangelicals to lose their support for a state that hates our Lord and his people.

🕯 💐 It has been brought to our attention that the former owner & founder of Intermarium TV has passed away.

📜 Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

✏️ The weight of the world is crashing against young men and women today. So we must close ranks and support one another. Anything can be accomplished in these turbulent times if we lend ourselves to the light of others.

🗳 🇺🇸 Ron DeSantis (R) is now tied for 2nd place in the Republican presidential field with conservative entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, after an Emerson College poll showed the two tied at 10% each.

The poll's release coincides with a leaked memo from a DeSantis super PAC, Never Back Down, which urged the Florida governor to "take a sledgehammer" to Ramaswamy - who's been quickly closing in on Ron.

Ramaswamy, in particular, has been improving his support with voters who have postgraduate degrees - who support him by 17%, and 16% of voters younger than 35. DeSantis has been losing support over the same period - dropping among postgraduate voters from 38% in June to just 14% now. Just 15% of those under 35 support the Florida governor, according to The Hill.

DeSantis, Ramaswamy and several other GOP candidates, none of whom are likely to win the primary, will duke it out next week during the first Republican primary debate.
Trump, meanwhile, is skipping out for an interview with Tucker Carlson
