"I will post about my Niger trip in the coming days. In the meantime I came across US-based Flagship Gold investing in Mali. I don't want to speculate again (LoL) about a new US-Malian partnership but this is still interesting"

"8. Publix mood is hard to gauge. I know diehard supporters and opponents. The mil government benefits from sentiment that few wants to have the old elites back. Keep in mind that Nigers average age is XX years"

"9. We had a seminar in Tahoua in central Niger on the migration route to Agadez and Libya/Algeria. I travelled like pretty much every time in the Sahel with @WFP_UNHAS @WFP. Its like a domestic airline for locals and government officials"

"11. Seminar participants reported a rise in people moving to Libya and Algeria via Tahoua since Niger abolished the EU-Linked migration ban in late 2023. Algeria has always deported migrants but so does Libya now too"

"Ukraine made a mistake in initially claiming to support Tuareg rebels in Mali which soured relations with Sahel countries and underlined its efforts to spread its narrative in Africa I tell @AFP From Donbas to the desert: Mali Tuaregs borrow. Daily Mail Online"

"5. The benin border closure for political reasons means higher inflation as this was the mail entry hatte for food and consumer goods. With the Burkina Faso route dangerous most stuff comes via Nigeria making a long detour"

"10. There is no transparency on migrant flows to Algeria and Niger as @UNmigration keeps its very detailed data secret. Look at the IOM Niger website and you find nothing. They claims its too sensitive - donors should apply more pressure"

"2. Russias influence is much less than in Mali and Burkina. A few flags and trainers thats it. Niger state TV uses (like many in Africa) the free RT feed but also TV5 News items"

"Taking a glimpse of Budapest castle from my hotel room. Really exciting to have a full day to exchange on Sahel and Hungarys role in Chad and the region at meetings and a workshop expertly organized by @LaszloMathe_ @KASonline"
