per la #Francia è ora di passasse dalla #grandeur alla #petitesse in #Africa come in #Europa : accettino la realtà. gli interessi della Francia non quelli dell'occidente, sempre che esista, né dell' #eu.
Congettura (personale): ad oggi la Francia era "partner" di #Niger, #Chad, #Janjaweed in #Sudan e #Haftar in #Libia; se la Francia viene buttata fuori dal #Sahel potrebbe anche risolversi la crisi dei migranti. Il problema si risolve a Parigi.

quando il dittatore del #Chad, amico di #Macron, va a difendere la democrazia in #Niger, mi viene in mente nemmeno 4 mesi fa, che proprio dal Chad sono entrati in #Sudan 37000 #Janjaweed (a bordo di 4600 Land Cruisers), a supportare l'antagonista #Hemedti. Non ho trovato un'analisi su una "nostra" possibile "simpatia" per questa gente.
Però è un fatto che in #Libia i Janjaweed combattessero con #Haftar, supportato da #Russia e #Francia. a me sembra una lite tra ex amici

'Eastern #Libya is dominated by the strongman Khalifa #Haftar and he's had massive support and crucial support from #Wagner since 2019. We have reports and western assessments that say that #Wagner forces are based in oil installations and military bases in Eastern and south-east Libya all dominated and controlled by the Libyan national armies of Khalifa Haftar.'

'Convicted in his youth for theft and robbery #Prigozhin spent 9 years in jail. So he easily clicked with the #prison crowd and once they joined his #mercenary group he could count on their loyalty. #Wagner fighters first appeared in #Ukraine in 2014. Not long after that, they were spotted in several locations in the Middle East too, which explains those pictures of Prigozhin with #Libyan officials. 4 ys ago Wagner backed renegade general Khalifa #Haftar 's attempt to take the capital, #Tripoli.

"Con la cosiddetta emergenza dei flussi migratori e la #Libia spaccata, il governo tratta con tutti i grandi, piccoli e criminali raìs nordafricani."

Local #NGOs are warning staff to brace for a rise in violence now that the Muslim holy month of #Ramadan is over. #Haftar has passed on crucial intelligence to #Hemedti, detained his enemies, increased deliveries of fuel and possibly trained a detachment of hundreds of fighters from the #RSF

#Libya - Jalel Harchaoui on Twitter - Bold move by #Haftar, who just ordered the #LNA to grant all armed civilians associated w/ it the status of #regular Libyan #military personnel.
The massive administrative shift will benefit not only 10,000s of Libyan members of informal forces but also 1,000s of Chadians, Sudanese, Egyptians, & other #foreigners.

The LNA’s payroll will explode in size.

#Libia
Khalifa #Haftar: "L'unità della Libia è una linea rossa e non permetteremo che venga violata o compromessa. Abbiamo un'ultima possibilità per tracciare una road map e indire le elezioni. Chiediamo a tutte le città e regioni della Libia occidentale un dialogo intra libico e la riunione dei vari attori libici, coloro che hanno diviso i libici estradando un cittadino illegalmente ne devono rendere conto di fronte al popolo."
