U.S. pushing for a fresh military intervention in Haiti
https://archive.ph/wip/ncCSg
https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/u-s-pushing-for-a-fresh-military-intervention-in-haiti/

The U.S. State Department said that it will soon introduce a resolution to the U.N. Security Council
for a multinational force to help combat gangs in Haiti.

On Saturday, the Kenyan government offered to send 1,000 police officers to Haiti to support local police,
who have been overwhelmed by the gangs, which dominate much of the country.

The offer has been welcomed by U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres,
who has been pushing for months for the Security Council to authorize a military intervention.
U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters that Guterres “values Kenya’s consideration to possibly lead a non-U.N. multinational force.
”The U.S. had lobbied Canada to lead a force, as French is widely spoken in both Canada and Haiti.
But the Canadians have so far refused to get involved.

Haitians have experienced numerous foreign military interventions in their country, including a U.S. intervention in 1991
aimed at removing a military regime that had overthrown President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
U.N. deployments in Haiti have also failed.
“Peacekeepers” sent to the country after the devastating 2010 earthquake were linked to an outbreak of cholera that killed more than 10,000 people.
And international troops have also been accused of widespread sexual violence.

Activist and journalist Dimitri Lascaris said: “We have seen this scam before.
The U.S. government is cynically exploiting proxy forces to impose its will on the Haitian people.”

About 11% of Niger population are Ethnic Tuaregs that's about 3 million and they are expert smugglers so if the US and france invade expect a long bloody insurgency as the Tuaregs will smuggle in tonnes of weapons from Libya, Algeria and Mali and Wagner will also smuggle in weapons to keep US and France in military crisis.

Israel breaks through Russian Black Sea blockade
https://archive.ph/0LdsG
https://www.ukrainianworldcongress.org/israeli-ship-ignores-russias-black-sea-blockade/

The Israeli vessel Ams1 entered the Ukrainian mouth of the Danube, ignoring threats and Russia’s “blockade” of the Black Sea. In addition, two more are following the ship, from Greece and Türkiye/Georgia, open data researcher Marcus Jonsson writes.
“Ams1 is entering Ukraine branch of Danube. She was the first ship to break Russia’s Black Sea blockade after the July 25th Reni-bombing [Russia’s attack on the port infrastructure of the city of Reni in Odesa – ed.]. Starting her trip Ashdod, Israel, she openly advertised destination Ukraine as she traversed Black Sea on a straight course. Brave mariners,” Jonsson wrote.
In general, on the night of August 1, three ships already ignored Russia’s threats and set off on direct routes to Ukraine.
“Russian forces are clearly unwilling or unable to forcibly stop and search neutral ships bound for Ukraine via the Black Sea… Ship surveillance images released on 30 July show three civilian vessels declaring their destination in Ukraine via the Automatic Identification System (AIS) and sailing there without being stopped and searched by the Russian Black Sea Fleet,” the article of the Bulgarian media Actualno says

There are reports of an explosion near the Crimean bridge.

Residents of nearby Yakovenkovo reported a loud explosion near the bridge.

No official confirmation of the attack so far.

Yakovenkovo is southwest of the bridge, so it is probably another attempt to attack the bridge but the location of explosions indicates probably the work of air defense.

[Mr Badger]

Adviser to the head of the Crimea, Oleg Kryuchkov, does not confirm the information about the explosions in the area of the Crimean bridge

“Please don’t push. All services are running. In case of emergencies, information will be given immediately. I can’t confirm the information on the network about the explosions,” he said.

Criman Bridge situation according @Rybar

As we anticipated earlier today, Ukrainian armed forces once again launched drone attacks on Russian territory: this time, the Crimean Bridge was the target of the strike.
Reports indicate that both aerial and maritime drones were repelled. The Crimean channel states that one of the drones presumably crashed into the protective barrier.
Lights on the bridge have been turned off as part of light camouflage, traffic has been halted, and air defense forces are in full combat readiness.

https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/75875

[Mr Badger]

An insider close to the Russian Maritime Fleet reports that a maritime drone has collided with a tanker 30 miles from the Kerch Strait.

Crimean sources have shared this information, but there is no official confirmation at the moment.

@DDGeopolitics

All a bit chaotic at the moment.

https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/75878

[Mr Badger]

‍Russian publics write that the drone rammed (https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/75878) the Sig tanker.

Officially, the authorities of Crimea do not confirm this.

“Colleagues, the Crimean authorities are not responsible for the Kerch Strait and anchorages. We cannot comment on the situation in the Black Sea and the strait,” said Kryuchkov, adviser to the head of Crimea.

[Mr Badger]

More on that tanker:

"At about 23:14, an explosion thundered in the Black Sea area near the Crimean bridge.

A tanker was hit in the engine room area, which is now flooded. The vessel cannot move independently. But, fortunately, the crew is alive and almost unharmed. The Russian rescue ship Mercury is already operating next to it, and a number of ships are heading to help.

According to some reports, the SIG tanker was returning from Syria, where it delivered oil products. The tanker itself has been under US sanctions since 2019 for helping to circumvent sanctions imposed on Syria regarding the sale of their oil and gas minerals.

On July 19, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that all ships calling at Ukrainian ports will be considered as carrying military equipment and will be considered targets.

On July 20, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry made the same statement that they would have the same approach to Russian ships."

The Art of Hybrid War: The Black Sea, Sahel, and a World on the Brink

https://ddgeopolitics.substack.com/p/the-art-of-hybrid-war-the-black-sea

A very in-depth article.

Note: I wasn't familiar with the term "Sahel", so I did what is usually the unthinkable to me and asked Chat GPT. (As someone who despises and refuses to own "smart" devices, I'll be kicking myself for weeks over this)

Anyhow, this is the answer I got:

"The Sahel is a geographical region in Africa that spans across several countries. It is a transitional zone between the Sahara Desert in the north and the more fertile savannas and forests to the south. The word "Sahel" is derived from the Arabic word for "shore" or "coastline," reflecting its position as a borderland between the desert and the greener regions to the south.

The Sahel stretches across the continent from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Red Sea in the east, covering parts of the following countries (from west to east): Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Sudan, and Eritrea. It is characterized by a semi-arid climate, with limited rainfall and a fragile ecosystem that is susceptible to droughts and desertification.

The Sahel region is home to a diverse range of ethnic groups and cultures, including the Hausa, Fulani, Tuareg, Songhai, and others. Historically, it has been an important trade route and a center of cultural exchange between North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. The region faces numerous challenges, including poverty, political instability, food insecurity, and environmental degradation. Efforts are underway by governments, international organizations, and local communities to address these challenges and promote sustainable development in the Sahel."

Apologies to those here for whom the above was common knowledge, I guess we all live and learn.
