Mali said it and Burkina Faso, both neighbours of Niger run by military juntas, were sending delegations to Niger to show support. Both countries have said they would consider any intervention in Niger as a declaration of war against them.
I might also say that the – you know, the threats of other countries supporting the coup leaders – those are even more risible than the threat of invasion.
INSKEEP: Oh, meaning that other countries aren‘t – they don‘t have very many resources to make much of a difference even if they do want to support.
PHAM: Well, no. I mean, yes, definitely. For example, Burkina Faso, which has been very vocal, it‘s gone through two coups in recent years – very vocal in its support of the junta in Niger.

A number of these are tools sold to policing bodies which reveal the geographic location of a target. There are also more advanced technologies, sold to law enforcement and intelligence bodies, which allow clients to hack into computers, mobile phones and encrypted messaging apps, extracting all information stored on a device and secretly turning on its microphone and camera to create a tool which spies on its owner.

Der Ausbau der EU-Flüchtlingsabwehr ist ein zentraler Schwerpunkt der gestern gestarteten Afrikareise von Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel. Wie Regierungskreise bestätigen, wird Merkel nach ihren gestrigen Gesprächen in Senegal auch heute in Ghana und morgen in Nigeria über Schritte verhandeln, um die Flucht von Menschen vor Armut, Hoffnungslosigkeit und Krieg zu unterbinden und die Abschiebung von Flüchtlingen aus Deutschland zu erleichtern. In Umfragen geben fast die Hälfte der befragten Senegalesen und rund drei Viertel der befragten Ghanaer und Nigerianer an, ihr Land verlassen zu wollen. Ursachen sind krasse Armut und eine dramatische Jugendarbeitslosigkeit. Arbeitsplätze vernichten systematisch Unternehmen aus der EU, die etwa senegalesische Küstengewässer leerfischen und damit Senegals Fischereibranche schwer schädigen oder auch Ghana mit Dumpinggeflügel überschwemmen und damit die einheimische Geflügelbranche in den Ruin treiben. Gespräche über den Stopp derlei fluchtverursachender EU-Praktiken stehen nicht auf Merkels Programm.
