🇸🇩🇪🇹🇸🇦⚡- Hamdan Dagalo's visit to Addis Ababa yesterday is part of an effort to withdraw the 5,000 Rapid Support Forces from the Saudi Arabia - Ansarullah border.

Dagalo's visit follows a recent UN Security Council meeting on Sudan regarding a possible no-fly zone, which was opposed by Khartoum. During the UNSC, Saudi Arabia voiced strong criticism of the RSF, to which Dagalo has allegedly decided to respond. Saudi Arabia's border security with Yemen's Ansarullah depends almost entirely on the Rapid Support Forces, of which there are approximately 5,000 members.

RSF are demanding an official apology from Riyadh, or risk losing RSF's security against the al-Houthi forces.

Note, the Rapid Support Forces were introduced into the Yemeni civil war by the UAE, who fought alongside the Southern Transitional Council's Security Belt Forces.

🇳🇪⚡- While initial reports suggest the coup attempt has likely failed, its consequences will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the junta in Niamey.

Reports indicate that elements of Niger's main counterterrorism forces in Tillaberi, Tera, and Dosso abandoned their posts and joined the uprising, citing Niamey's poor strategic war planning and mounting casualties.

All three regions are major hubs of activity of the Islamic State and its branches. The withdrawal of junta forces from these areas will create significant security gaps, allowing militant groups to expand their influence and operations.
