ECOWAS Faces Tensions Over Military Intervention in Niger Republic as Burkina Faso and Mali Rally Support

Niger Suspends Uranium & Gold Exports Amid Rumors Of Imminent French Military Intervention

Tensions are growing among the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) over the topic of military action in Niger Republic amid a developing geopolitical crisis. Guinea has expressed fear that such an intervention may destabilize ECOWAS as a regional entity.

The urge for military intervention in Niger Republic derives from the region’s continuous security issues and political instability. However, Guinea’s President, Alpha Conde, has raised concerns over the potential ramifications of such a move, claiming that it may lead to confusion and dissension among ECOWAS member nations.

Instead, Guinea is pushing ECOWAS to emphasize the welfare of African migrants in Tunisia, emphasizing the humanitarian catastrophe that many of these migrants are experiencing. The country believes that ECOWAS should prioritize collaborative efforts to address migration issues and provide support to those in need.

Burkina Faso and Mali, on the other hand, have adopted a different attitude, declaring their unshakable support for Niger in the face of any military intervention. According to a joint statement issued by the governments of Burkina Faso and Mali, military involvement would be considered a “declaration of war” and would likely exacerbate tensions in the already fragile region.

The issue has sparked considerable concern, with consequences for regional stability and collaboration. As ECOWAS member nations negotiate these complicated concerns, the region will put its unity and collective decision-making to the test.

The ongoing debates among ECOWAS member nations have piqued the international community’s attention and concern. The world community is intently observing the situation to determine the ramifications for security, migration, and other diplomatic relations within the West African region.

As events evolve, ECOWAS officials are under pressure to find a balanced solution that addresses security issues in Niger Republic while preserving the regional body’s unity and stability. The conclusion of these discussions will influence ECOWAS’s future orientation and involvement in tackling regional concerns.

Six Major unanswerable Proofs that Vaccines often cause AUTISM – by Steve Kirsch

Executive summary

Here’s my favorite short list of evidence that can’t be explained if vaccines don’t cause autism. Does anyone think I’m wrong and can explain the list?

Note that I only claim that vaccines are THE major cause, not the sole cause. There are other things that contribute. But if we could change only one thing, eliminating use of all vaccines is the single best way to reduce the rate of autism in the US.

The bottom line is that for questions like whether vaccines can trigger autism, there is only one answer: it does or it doesn’t. It doesn’t change.

We have 25 years of evidence. It’s all either supportive of Hypothesis A or B.

It is a colossal failure of evidence-based medicine and the medical community that they cannot figure out which bucket all the evidence is consistent with.

The answer is so simple because all the studies cited as the strongest evidence on their side are all deeply flawed and can be easily disproven. It is astonishing to me that so many smart people cannot figure this out.

But they are paid not to look. They always completely ignore the studies that go against the narrative and only focus on studies where the studies are designed to minimize the chance of finding an association.

Making statements such as “you review all evidence, giving more weight to the quality and quantity of evidence” is science via “expert opinion.” It is hit or miss.

If you want scientific certainty, you need to be able to show that every known piece of evidence is either consistent or not inconsistent with your hypothesis.

We believe we can do this in this case and that they cannot.

It’s that simple. This is the key.

Let’s go though all the top evidence, both sides in the same room, and let’s let unbiased experts (with no conflicts of interest) listen to the arguments.

If you want a shortcut to the truth, compelling anecdotes or a well done case study are generally powerful tools to reveal the truth. We certainly have this in this case as there are many many anecdotes that they simply cannot explain and they have no anecdotes that we cannot explain.

We can come up with amazing anecdotes, e.g., 40 cases of instant autism within 2 weeks after the vaccine in a medical practice and 0 cases before. Can the other side come up with anything even close to that for 2 weeks before the vaccine?

Is it “settled science” that vaccines don’t cause autism? No! Here’s the proof

2). How Do Vaccines Cause Autism?

Steve Kirsch on Twitter: “I recently did a survey on “overnight autism” cases and found that 33% happened 1 day after a vax shot and 50% happened within the first 3 days after a vax shot. That’s causality! For info on the mechanisms, see: https://t.co/EZH4ZdQyKR” / Twitter Steve Kirsch @stkirsch

3). VAERS data shows that vaccines cause autism

If autism is not caused by vaccines, the reported rates of autism should be proportional to the number of doses of the vaccine since these are all coincidences. But they aren’t.

6). Vaccines cause autism

Nearly all the world’s autism experts know it. They just can’t talk about it.

Executive summary

According to one of the world’s most respected authorities on autism, all, or nearly all, of the world’s top 100 scientists in the autism field know that vaccines are the primary driver behind the autism crisis in America. They just aren’t allowed to talk about it in public. If they did that, they would lose their funding, their job, and be the subject of intimidation techniques from their peers. So they keep quiet and nobody knows what they really think….

Fears Of French and US Attacks as Uranium exports stopped in Niger Coup

Violence in the Sahel (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, The Gambia, Guinea Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal) has increased in recent years, and several countries in the region have fallen victim to military coups. Now, there is a possibility that US forces may not be welcome in Niger, all at a time when Russophilia is growing in the country.

The military coup in Niger “completed a domino chain” in a group of African countries, stretching from Guinea in the extreme west of the continent to Sudan in the extreme east, which are ruled by coup plotters, reported The New York Times on July 29. The newspaper considers the ousted Nigerian President Mohamed Bazoum, a democratically elected US ally, and the coup’s aftermath a threat to the US fight against Islamist groups in Africa.

“For the United States and its allies, the coup raised urgent questions about the fight against Islamist militants in the Sahel, the vast semiarid region where groups linked to Al Qaeda and the Islamic State are gaining ground at an alarming pace, moving from the desert toward the sea. Much of the Sahel overlaps with Africa’s newly formed, coast-to-coast coup belt,” the outlet said.

French Embassy in Niger attacked.. All of this has prompted a fresh response from President Emmanuel Macron, who said his government “will not tolerate any attack on France and its interests” in Niger.

As the NYT noted, footage from the coup in Niamey, Niger’s capital, where protesters waved Russian flags, depicts scenes like those during the coup in neighbouring Burkina Faso. However, the coups in Guinea and Mali had different reasons for occurring.

The article stresses that the presence of the Russian flags does not mean that the Kremlin is behind the rebels’ actions but symbolises “how Russia has positioned itself as the torch bearer of anti-Western, and especially anti-French, sentiment in a swath of Africa in recent years.”

Niger, with at least 1,100 military personnel and two drone bases that cost $110 million, was considered a “cornerstone of the Pentagon’s regional strategy.” The NYT reckons that if the junta comes to power, the Americans could be asked to leave the country, which would “open a door to Russia.”

France and Italy announce evacuation of citizens from Niger Complicating matters, and adding to the geopolitical pressures and tensions, is the fact that Niger has long been a major operating hub for French special forces, with some 1,500 French troops in the country, who regularly conducted joint operations with the prior government.Alarmingly, while both French and American troops are in the region, the Russian mercenary group Wagner is just next door in Mali.

The African Union, the Economic Community of West African States, and the European Union condemned the coup and urged Bazoum’s return to power. For his part, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned, along with the EU, that the economic support to the country will cease if the coup d’état is not reversed.

Moscow joined the west African ECOWAS block criticising the coup and urged the parties not to use force.

Nonetheless, anti-French slogans and Russian flags on the streets of Niger after the military coup show that the social community in the Sahel region is looking for an alternative to the West.
