"It seems true that a Nigerian C-130 was in Burkina Faso air space and had to land. Less clear what it was doing or why it landed. Mechanical problem Did the Burkinab force it to land (not sure if they have air defense capabilities worth mentioning)"

"What's maddening here is that both Burkina Faso and Nigeria face an existential threat in the form of jihadist insurgents. They both (but especially Burkina) seem to lack clarity re: who the enemy is and with whom they should be cooperating. BF and Nigeria should be allies"
