⭕️ 🇸🇳🇫🇷 Senegalese prime minister criticises French military bases on territory

Senegal’s prime minister Ousmane Sonko raised the possibility of closing French military bases in the West African country in a wide-ranging speech that also touched on the euro-backed CFA franc currency, oil and gas deals.

Sonko, a firebrand politician who gained power when his hand-picked presidential candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye won a decisive victory in March, is known for criticising perceived overreach by France in its former colony.

France has about 350 troops in Senegal.

“More than 60 years after our independence … we must question the reasons why the French army for example still benefits from several military bases in our country and the impact of this presence on our national sovereignty and our strategic autonomy,” Sonko said at a joint conference with the French left-wing politician Jean-Luc Melenchon in the capital Dakar.

Neighbours Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger have pushed out French troops and turned to Russia for help fighting jihadist insurgencies on their territory.
They have also turned away from West African bloc ECOWAS – which condemned their coups – and formed their own alliance of Sahel states.
But Sonko had friendly words for them on Thursday.

“We will not let go of our brothers in the Sahel and we will do everything necessary to strengthen the ties,” he said.

He also said Senegal, which shares the euro-pegged CFA franc currency with seven countries, would like a flexible currency pegged to at least two currencies to help absorb shocks and support export competitiveness.

During the election campaign, Faye had initially pledged to abandon the CFA franc but later backed off his promise. Sonko reiterated promises to renegotiate oil and gas contracts in Senegal, where production is due to begin this year.
[This is huge. Senegal was the crown jewel of French neocolonialism… Some Frenchies are jumping off bridges tonight.. the tsunami of bad news includes New Caldonia island uprising! Après the rich black soil of Novorossiya..]

💠 @Arab_Africa:  
⭕ 🇸🇳 Senegalese Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko reaffirmed support for the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), which includes Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.

“We will not let go of our brothers in the Sahel and will do everything necessary to strengthen ties and ensure our solidarity with them.

…Those who today condemn regimes considered military or dictatorial, however, tend to side with other regimes that are not democratic, until it comes to negotiations on oil or markets… The internal problems of countries must be decided by the citizens of these countries. Of course, there have been coups d’état and, of course, no one encourages coups d’état, but I refuse to be part of those who analyze the symptoms and refuse to analyze the true causes of these coups d’état.”

Gaza has guaranteed not merely the end of Anglo-American era and hegemony, but the entire usurious Babylonian satanic Order of the last 5,000+ years..

[This was a useless conference based on the result, as expected by a USUK-controlled international body via their GCC, but does provide several interesting points.

1. Al Assad, on USUK kill lists for a decade plus, waltzed into the island colony that also hosts the US 5th Fleet! What does this say about the position of Empire in the Persian Gulf and wider region? Interesting metric.
2. It permits Al Assad, based in Syria, at the very heart of the regional Resistance, to gauge if there remains any humanity and self-preservation in the GCC, vis-a-vis Palestine. Soon, Yemen will need to know as their next phase involves marching by land to the Holy Land, come hell or high water]

A joint statement on deepening the comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation was signed between the leaders on Tuesday, during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to China.

Earlier this week, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters that this is a detailed document – more than 30 pages.

🤝It will “highlight the special nature of our bilateral relations, outline further ways to develop the entire range of bilateral ties, and highlight the leading role of Russia and China in shaping a just and democratic world order,” he noted.
⭕ 🇸🇰 Slovak Prime Minister’s health condition stable, country’s environment ministry says

“According to the latest data, Prime Minister Robert Fico is in a stable condition,” Slovak Environment State Secretary Filip Kuffa wrote on social media.

Fico was shot Wednesday during the government’s field meeting in the city of Handlova, located 190 kilometers (118 miles) northeast of Bratislava. The prime minister was rushed to a hospital, reportedly with wounds to his abdomen and chest.

Slovak Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok said Fico’s condition was critical. Slovakia’s TA3 broadcaster reported that Fico had been placed in an induced coma after undergoing surgery.

⭕ China is burning all its bridges with Israel

⬛️ Desire to be seen as champion of Global South drives policy tilt

🔶️ Ma Xinmin, a Foreign Ministry legal department official, set out Beijing’s stance at an International Court of Justice hearing in February: “In pursuit of the right to self-determination, the Palestinian people’s use of force to resist foreign oppression and to complete the establishment of an independent state is an inalienable right well founded in international law.” Last month, Beijing even hosted a Hamas delegation.

🔶️ Through the fighting since October, Beijing has put all blame on Israel, while Chinese social media platforms like Weibo and WeChat have suddenly filled with antisemitism. Noting this, Aaron Keyak, the Biden administration’s deputy envoy on antisemitism, observed in January, “Because we know the Chinese internet is not free, that’s a conscious decision by the Chinese government to allow that kind of rhetoric to be greatly increased.”

🔶️ Similarly, when Iran sent a unprecedented volley of missiles and drones toward Israel last month, Beijing referred to it as an “act of self-defense” in response to an Israeli strike on an Iranian diplomatic compound in Damascus. Speaking to his Iranian counterpart after the attack on Israel, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said, “Iran can handle the situation well.”

🔶️ China’s stance appears to reflect both a desire to position itself as a viable alternative to the U.S. and the heretofore American-led order and its economic interests as the world’s largest oil importer. China’s growing clout in the Middle East includes not only a strengthening strategic partnership with Iran, but close ties with Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf states.

🔶️ Jerusalem has quietly signaled its disgruntlement with Beijing’s approach. In late October, Israel signed on to a joint statement of concern with more than 50 other governments about alleged Chinese crimes against humanity in its predominantly Muslim Xinjiang region. Last month, an Israeli parliamentary delegation visited Taiwan and met with President Tsai Ing-wen who commented, “Bilateral interactions have recently been very close.”

⭕ 🇹🇷 Following Kyrgyzstan and Georgia, Turkey is also preparing versions of the law on foreign agents.
In modern realities, this is a mandatory condition in order to be able to pursue at least some kind of sovereign policy without surrendering one’s society to the influence of Western NGOs. This is why the West reacted so nervously to the adoption of such laws in Kyrgyzstan and Georgia, since these are steps towards restoring and strengthening sovereignty. In the case of Turkey, we can expect not only another coup attempt to overthrow Erdogan, but also a serious campaign of pressure on Turkey at the stage of putting forward a law on foreign agents to the Turkish parliament.
⭕ 🇺🇲🇺🇦 The State Department said the United States considers the situation of Ukrainian troops to be “incredibly desperate.”

💠 @kuluary_zaliva (В кулуарах Залива):
⭕ Is the Arab League capable of determining the politics of the Arab world?

On Thursday , the next summit of the League of Arab States, a bloc uniting the countries of the Middle East and North Africa, took place in Bahrain .

Traditionally, the summit was aimed at strengthening Arab political cooperation and developing a common position in relation to key regional conflicts.

The main topic was again the conflict in the Gaza Strip . The Arab world emphasized its support for the creation of an independent Palestinian state, also offering to station a UN peacekeeping force in Gaza .

At the same time , Arab leaders continue to ignore the implementation of practical steps to transform the organization from a symbolic structure into an influential regional bloc . Effective transformation requires a revision of the founding principles and mission of the Arab League , which again failed to be achieved this year.
⭕ Lifeline for Egypt’s economy

🇦🇪 🇪🇬 This week , the UAE sent Egypt a second payment of $14 billion for the development of the coastal city of Ras al-Hikmah, the Egyptian Cabinet announced.

At the end of February, Abu Dhabi investment holding company ADQ invested $35 billion in the construction of the resort . It is expected to attract up to $150 billion in investment. The Egyptian government will retain a 35% stake in the project.

Over the past few years, the UAE has increased its investment in Egypt. ADQ acquired Egyptian pharmaceutical company Amoun for $470 million in April 2021. Emirati investments and $8 billion in IMF loans are helping Egypt overcome its worst currency crisis in decades.

They have sufficient precision missiles and drones and ATGM and whatnot. But this is a potent psychological blow, like Yemenis defeating the mighty Sea Ships, or Russkies the vaunted Wunderwaffe.. Ever since Churchill laconically ordered the poison gas-bombing of Iraqi tribesmen, it has been a point of pride to savage others from the Air; a mark of ability to dictate to Untermenshen, like Zeus hurling thunderbolts from on High.

💠 @Yemen | Bab-el-Mandeb:
⭕ One massacre against the Palestinian people 76 years ago should have been enough to stop the catastrophe rather than extending the suffering of nations. The Americans inherited the British sin in supporting the Zionist Jews just as Arabs inherited their complacency regarding Palestine. Until God willed that the flood would sweep away this disgrace and awaken both the West and the East, revealing the falsehood of the devilish slogans. The war, which is the longest since the establishment of the entity, is evidence of what the flood has caused, drowning the Zionists in an unprecedented war of attrition, expanding the circle of fire in scale and type, by land and by sea, from the Red to the White Sea, and upon God’s will. There is no security or safety for any ship or company that docks at the ports of occupied Palestine.

Mr. Commander calls on everyone to understand Yemen’s humanitarian and moral stance before any decision. Warning has been given, and everyone’s interest lies in pressuring the criminal Israeli to stop the genocide in Gaza. For those who see supporting Israel – in its position as the aggressor – as a necessity, they must understand that there are those who see supporting Palestine – in its position as the oppressed – as a sacred duty. The Yemeni people are filling and leading the squares, and their knights have not left their banners. Alongside the free men on other fronts, they are continuing in a battle to which God sent His servants endowed with great might, and it was a promised event.

⭕ Merkava tanks opened cannon fire on Israeli soldiers from the 202nd Parachute Battalion in Gaza, killing at least seven paratroopers. The accident was described as “tragic” by the Zionist media (official).
⭕ 24 hours after its launch, an Israeli ELINT airship is destroyed by a kamikaze drone over the Galilee.
[If it weren’t so tragic, it would be comedic. Zion has the entire West, most Arab states, all supranational bodies and a hefty chunk of the planet either cowed or bought.. even as it is being annihilated on the ground in the Holy Land. As Ol’ Blue Eyes sang, “that’s life” for ya! Satanism has a short shelf life indeed in the Holy Land]
⭕ The Zionist army, the most moral in the world according to its laudators, kills an unarmed boy who has come to the rescue of a child seriously wounded by a sniper.
It’s the most cowardly army in the world, and it confirms this every time. |media|
[IMO, as was done for UkroNazis, the decision was long made to terminate every one of these demons. The issue is they’ve not been sufficiently demilitarized, are interspersed with Palestinian human shields, have nukes, and worst of all, are guarded on three main sides by compradore arabs themselves full of western bases. So, as Shogui explained in person to Al Assad the week prior to launch of SMO, patience is needed until the defeat of the combined West, after which all subsequent tasks become easier, with less harm to regional civilians. Palestinians bear for us all the brunt of this terrible interval]
⭕ Palestinian Hamas has authorized the broadcast of some images from its electronic and cyber warfare unit, which operates from the Gaza Strip and manages to access the Internet despite the destruction of relay antennas by Zionist forces.
⭕ The first aerial bombardment against Israel since the end of the October 1973 war took place today 05/16/2024: an attack drone armed with Air-to-Surface missiles from the Lebanese Hezbollah 🇱🇧 raided the Israeli settlement of Metulla.

⭕ So, as a response to Israel’s invasion of Rafah, which was posed by Egypt as a ‘red line’ for months, you are…stopping the aid into Gaza?

How is this supposed to hurt Israel exactly? It only hurts the Palestinians, and it’s exactly what Israel wants.
⭕ BREAKING: Hezbollah carried out its first operation with an ‘armed attack drone’

In a statement, Hezbollah says they launched an armed drone at the Israeli settlement of Metula, armed with two surface-to-ground missiles of the S5 type.

The drone flew above the settlement and launched its missiles at an IDF vehicle, killing and injuring its crew. It then continued its descent and impacted at the local IDF garrison in the settlement.
⭕ The nature of the drone is not completely clear at this moment, and we do not know if it is a one-use attack drone that somehow carries additional missiles, or whether it is a real combat UAV which returns to base after launching the strike.

⭕ Sayyed Abdulmalik:
🔸️US has a significant role in the war of starvation and in genocide with its deadly and destructive bombs.
🔸️A single massacre in Gaza was enough for human conscience to be stirred and for strong positions to be taken to prevent genocide.
🔸️US, from the beginning, has been manufacturing weapons to be destructive to cities and mass killers of populations.
🔸️US is complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza, starving those who remain.
🔸️US who planned the war of starvation, to target Rafah crossing, provided the Israeli enemy with all forms of support.
🔸️Britain empowered the Jews in Palestine through their crimes, targeting Palestinians and hindering any freedom movement.
🔸️Tragedy in Gaza coincided this week with the 76th anniversary of the Nakba when Britain enabled the Jews to occupy Palestine.
🔸️It is shameful for the UN to have accepted the Israeli enemy as a member, as it is an occupying entity based on crime and tyranny.
🔸️Arab negligence towards Palestine after the Nakba has led the Israeli enemy to occupy Al-Quds and the rest of Palestine.
🔸️7 operations were carried out this week by Yemen with 13 ballistic, cruise, and unmanned missiles in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean.
🔸️Sayyed Abdulmalik hailed the Iraqi resistance as it has once again escalated
🔸️Lebanese front holds great importance as it is a direct front and its influence extends from northern Palestine to the enemy’s reality in general.
🔸️Sayyed Abdulmalik warns of any escalatory steps towards Rafah: to indicate an escalation by Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen.
🔸️Fighters in Gaza continue to inflict painful losses on Israeli enemy as they targeted 70 vehicles within a week.
🔸️Operations against American ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden have exceeded 100 attacks with missiles and drones.
[Note two things that became normalized due to Gaza since Putin’s October 7th, 2023, birthday, unprecedented in my lifetime: the livestreamed high-definition Genocide of an entire people, and the Annihilation of the premier power projection tool of the Sea Peoples, their fabulous warships.. the two are intimately linked, and not merely materially. Hegemons have always come to be buried in the Holy Land]
🔸️The inauguration began this week towards the Mediterranean Sea with two operations.
🔸️Everyone should exert pressure on the Israeli enemy to stop the genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
🔸️13,959 trainees were trained in military mobilization recently, they will reach half a million trainees.
🔸️Sayyed Abdulmalik called on Iraqi resistance to join Yemen in the fourth phase of escalation
🔸️ Just as US-UK coalition previously failed to possess interception for Yemen’s operations, it will fail in the fourth phase. [Presumably alluding to ops in the Med, which will really test long range Iranian-Yemeni tech and tactics]
🔸️The continued Israeli aggression, blockade, and incursion into Rafah necessitate the need for further escalation in all support fronts.
⭕ According to Mr. Abdulmalik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi’s announcement in his weekly speech today about the Israeli aggression on Gaza and in response to the enemy’s escalation with its military operations in Rafah, any ship that enters the ports of occupied Palestine becomes a legitimate target for the Yemeni Armed Forces and all ships belonging to its company, whether in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean, or anywhere else reached by Yemeni military capabilities.

Regarding those countries that understood the Yemeni stance at the beginning of the Yemeni military operations in support of the Palestinian people, the leader invited them to understand this necessary action in order to increase pressure on the Israeli enemy to stop its heinous massacres against the Palestinian people, end its aggression, and lift the blockade by allowing all aid to enter all areas of the Gaza Strip.

Is it any wonder that for the first time in decades was an assassination attempt in Europe made on a politician who took a reasonable position towards Russia? By the way, it is by no means pro-Russian. Just a pragmatist and non-Russophobe.

Of course not. R. Fico, and I have been communicating with him since 2008, personifies that part of the European establishment that has not lost touch with reality and does not want its citizens to turn into gray radioactive ash. And of course, he became the target. There are only a few people like the Slovak Prime Minister in Europe. And they urgently need to take care of their safety.

Yes, the one who committed the attack is a fierce outcast from the intelligentsia. A sort of Gavrilo Principle topsy-turvy. Yes, he didn’t like Fico. wrote all sorts of nonsense.
But his actions are the quintessence of the new Europe – moronic-Russophobic, vassal-unbridled and completely headless. Not wanting to understand basic things. Ready to throw its citizens into the furnace of selfish American politics. A Europe of vile degenerates, ignorant of its history.

Therefore, Macron, Sunak, Scholz and Von der Leyen can not shake their skins for now.

And I wish Robert Fico to recover as quickly as possible from his serious injury!
