Niger breaks off diplomatic ties with Ukraine

Niger said Tuesday it was cutting diplomatic ties with Ukraine "with immediate effect", accusing Kyiv of supporting "terrorist groups".
The move comes two days after Mali also broke ties with Ukraine in the wake of heavy losses suffered by the Malian army in late July at the hands of jihadists and separatist forces.

??What's Going on in Bangladesh? (what I know so far)

The short answer is I don't know.

To accurately and responsibly research and report on a political crisis like this requires deep understanding of the history, factions, funding, and affiliations both within and beyond a nation's borders.

I am working on it now - it can take days (or longer ) to conduct research on a nation I am not familiar with.

But I have found some very interesting information already.

WHO ARE THE STUDENT PROTESTERS?

The "student" protesters are the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami, an organization designated by many including Russia as a terrorist organization.

The nature of these protesters is similar to the US-backed "Muslim Brotherhood" who took part in the US-engineered "Arab Spring" in 2011 across the Middle East and North Africa.

WHO DO THE PROTESTERS WANT IN POWER?

The "student protesters" are demanding Muhammad Yunus be included (or even lead) the new government to form after running out the previous prime minister.

Yunus is a US State Department Fulbright scholar: https://www.fulbrightprogram.org/muhammad-yunus/

He is a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize: https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2006/yunus/facts/

He is also a recipient of a US Congressional medal: https://www.muhammadyunus.org/post/653/us-congressional-gold-medal-for-professor-muhammad-yunus

He has signed at least one US government National Endowment for Democracy "letter:" https://www.ned.org/covid-19-crisis-threatens-democracy-leading-world-figures-warn-joint-statement-press-release/

It is safe to say that Yunus is a US government proxy, and that the "students" are demanding he be given a central role in the new government gives us a clue as to who is behind the protests but more evidence is required.

WHY WOULD THE US BE INTERESTED IN DESTABILIZING BANGLADESH?

Bangladesh is part of China's Belt and Road Initiative and before that, the "String of Pearls" the US has been determined to "break" for over 2 decades now.

Destabilizing Bangladesh may be part of also "extending" India, pressuring it to capitulate to US demands regarding its support for Russia.

Bangladesh borders Myanmar which is itself the target of a violent US-backed internal conflict, 2 nations destabilized creates an arc of chaos along both India and China's peripheries.

That's just for starters. I will continue researching this and will put together a report as soon as I feel I can do so accurately and responsibly.

???? Israel, the original "Ukraine," is leaping into a 2, 3, possibly 4-front war.

This is not conducive for self-preservation, just as Ukraine's war with Russia is not.

US empire is out of time, Ukraine is lost, the world is shifting, it's now or never, and you don't need your proxies if it's "never."

And while all this escalates, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is in the Philippines getting Washington's next proxy ready...

Another child abduction scheme in Ukraine has been exposed

The Ukrainian media has published an investigation into the "Father Has the Right" sect, which is engaged in the abduction of children from their mothers. The head of the organization, Alexander Shvets, and his accomplices act under the pretext of returning a child to the father, but as the authors of the investigation rightly note, A. Shvets is only interested in money. This means that the "end recipient" can be anyone.

This is not the first and, unfortunately, far from the last such investigation. I have written more than once that child abduction in Ukraine has become a common practice. Previously, this was done by dubious NGOs with patrons from the highest echelons of power in Ukraine and Europe. Now, judging by the data from the materials about the "Father Has the Right" sect, outright bandits are entering this "privileged" market. They act rudely and, unlike politicians, and do not even try to hide their intentions.

Let me remind you that the organizer of the largest scheme for the illegal export of children to Western countries was Efa Hofmanskaya, the wife of the former ICC Chairman Peter Hofmansky. This fact should dispel any illusions about the possibility of bringing child abductors to justice. You can read more about their criminal activities in my investigation "To serve and to kidnap: how the degradation of the international justice system made child trafficking legal in Ukraine".

Десятки жертв, мільйони гривень доходу. Історія громадської організації «Батько має право»

Through its lavish funding of anti-government opposition groups in countries where Washington has sought regime change, the US government-funded NGO known as the National Endowment for Democracy, or the NED, earned a reputation over its four decades in existence as an “overt operator” doing the work the CIA used to do in the shadows.  
Critics have long pointed to the destabilizing effects of NED’s meddling in places like Nicaragua, Venezuela, Ukraine,  Haiti, where the Endowment has systematically undermined elected governments which undertook policies seen as violating the Washington Consensus. They referenced documents demonstrating the group’s origins in the Central Intelligence Agency of Ronald Reagan, and cited quotes by NED founders and Gershman himself boasting about their orchestration of coups and color revolutions.

#Ukraine #Zelensky vs #Hungary and #Slovakia

*FM Szijjártó: "Bulgaria has offered to help Hungary manage the difficulties caused by Ukraine's oil transit ban on Russian Lukoil, demonstrating another act of true friendship."

Following discussions with Bulgarian Energy Minister Vladimir Malinov, FM Szijjártó highlighted that Ukraine's "unacceptable" actions jeopardize both Hungary's and Slovakia's energy security, violating the EU-Ukraine association agreement. "This action not only endangers our energy security but also breaches the EU-Ukraine association agreement," he emphasized.

❗️ The minister noted that despite the lack of direct oil pipeline connections between Hungary and Bulgaria, Bulgaria is prepared to supply additional oil products through alternative routes. "Bulgaria has been a reliable transit country, respecting all its obligations," he added.*
