There are some very complex Geopolitical manoeuvres taking place in the Sahel region at present, and one needs to pay very close attention to them, in order to figure out what exactly is going on. We are presently dealing with many actors, and we need to look at things closely to see which actors are responsible for some of the havoc that we are seeing in the last week or so. We have Algeria -Niger on one hand, their new military partnership and the potential of Algerian troop deployment in Nigerien territory. Then the Morcocco and Western Sahara axis, and Algeria's opposition and spat with Morocco in that regards . Then the Algeria -UAE crisis and Algeria cutting diplomatic ties with UAE. Then the UAE and Chad particularly close ties, and the UAE use of Chad as a transit point for supply of weapons to the Sudanese Genocidal racist RSF, who are fighting the Sudanese government and are widely believe to be responsible for the racist genocidal slaughter of Africans in Darfur Western Sudan.. It seems to me, that the incident two days ago, in which Chad fired missiles into Niger, which resulted in the deaths of two Nigerien civilians, were the result of UAE potentially retaliating on Niger through Chad, for Niger's new partnership agreement with Algeria, or it could well be the case that France is seeking to establish a new front, using its new found partnership with Chad, to attack Niger, and set the scene or a pretext for a wider conflict.. Africans have interest in the Situation in Sudan, and many of us are very angry about the role the UAE is playing in that conflict. However, we should not involve ourselves in UAE -Algeria- Morocco conflict, nor should Chad be used as a proxy for France and the UAE, to fight Niger or Algeria. UAE has interests in Niger, due to its partnership with Algeria, and France has interests in Niger, due to its imperialistic aspirations. Whatever the case may be, we must exercise utmost caution and be vigilant while we establish who is really responsible. The entire AES space is doing extremely will, in addressing the core issues affecting the wellbeing of its citizens, we cant allow these warring factions to use Niger as the ground for settling their scores.
