Hahaha, assuredly l’ambassadeur lacks such an “uncivilized” facility, save perhaps in the menials quarters. The very toilet bowl & seat ensemble is known in West Asia as “faransi” after the French.. did they invent it?
Anyhow, I prefer the squatting hole in the ground used by most of humanity. Better for health, toning leg muscles & training balance, and helping reduce constipation and other GI problems with more thorough evacuation. Helps preserve sexual activity into really old age too, itself a marker of good health. Even western medicine now acknowledges this squatting posture has many benefits. But requires a tad humility, not to mention ditching Exceptionalist mindsets, no??
So as Frenchie lacks it, as is likely, there’s always the chamber pot like the romantic old days — replete with fragrance and a silver domed cover! Or was that for the Chinese Emperor as shown by Bernardo Bertolucci? Then there’s the really good old days, of aiming the derriere outside the walls, but I wouldn’t recommend this in Africa, for too many life-threatening reasons to list, including flying critters.
Russians can be creative with the porcelain pony too. I heard they were stocking up in 404?? Maybe they can share some HQ zero-water green ones, lol
Macron whines into the Wind, trying to justify having left himself high and dry. I smell a traditional French act in progress: mewl and unceremoniously cut & run. Good Lord, this Junta is smooth.
12,500 ECOWAS troops bolstered by a bunch of thirsty and sandfly-plagued Frenchies will not impress anyone in a land twice the size of France, 100k+ militia and unlimited local eyes and intelligence, and some motivated Russkies at their back. Let’s soon watch the frog march onto those big fat US cargo planes.. ciao bella Afrique!
More on Syria war. Turks and US “exercising” bigtime, at pace last seen during peak war. The crazed open new fronts with the dying out of the Ukies. How long can they exercise Russian patience and restraint?
What is unfolding for USUK is truly tragic. They intend to go out in style, to immolate everything, including themselves, and their prospects with the Global South for the next 7 centuries or so….
Apparently all French facilities in Niger are under similar embargo – a consulate in another city and their military bases too. This will get interesting now for sure. Remember airspaces are closed. How many supplies are stocked at diplomatic posts? Maybe bases can hold out longer, but all eventually will run out.
And the weather, a nice steaming sub-Saharan cooker! 😅 How do you say, “pomme frites” in English? Rats have cornered themselves. Your move next Frenchie
Hmm. African standoff. The dastardly French didn’t get the desired casus belli. Their little frog didn’t get bitten by the scorpion since first, there is no river in the Sahara, and second, there is no scorpion.
Rather two play the cute games. Junta did not violate Vienna conventions but cut off electricity, water and food deliveries to the Embassy. The stink of waterless toilet may drive him out! Unless he’s from Paris and was immunized….
Suggestions: baguette-crumbs to the airport to assist l’ambassadeur. Playing continuously any music by Justin Bieber or classics such as “Ice Ice Baby”, by Vanilla Ice or “Barbie Girl” by Aqua.. it may get creatively hairy. They should be gentle and provide concurrent shrink services..
Since ages, today is miners day in USSR/Russia. Back in the day, I treated some from West Virginia coal communities. Many “lungers.” Tough folk.
From West Virginian Bill Withers:
NATO’s best, busy directing the immolation of 404….
