๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐ŸฉธVIOLENCE IN THE STREETS OF PARIS

๐Ÿ“Œ Blood flowed today in the streets of Paris, as thousands of demonstrators walked in defense of their right not to be vaccinated and were crushed by the special forces of the riot police.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฑ UPDATE: FRANCE AND THE SITUATION IN MALI / SAHEL

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป After almost 10 years, Operation Barkhane is about to come to an end in Mali. Thus, the nearly 5,000 French soldiers will have to withdraw and only a few hundred special forces operators, the TF Takuba, will remain on site.

โšก Within French military circles, this withdrawal is divisive.

โžก๏ธ Some are relieved that France is finally withdrawing from a conflict that was won militarily but in any case impossible to win politically. For them, it is time for France to focus on the future: the symmetrical war.

โžก๏ธ Others are much more worried. They certainly recognize that it was time to shift the french presence in the Sahel. But they worry about the geopolitical consequences of this withdrawal.

๐Ÿ”Ž This week we interviewed Lieutenant Colonel Gaspard, who is worrying about this withrawal.

โณ According to him, the French withdrawal is taking place at the worst time and too abruptly. First, because it gives the impression of a French defeat. But above all because it opens the door to the establishment of foreign powers within a zone of French influence...

๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท Until now, France has almost exclusively confronted the Turks, who have developed their soft power in the area with disinformation campaigns aimed at undermining Malian support for France. But in fact, Turkey is too weakened to position itself in this area, and has other priorities to manage, in the Libyan theater for example.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ What worries part of the French military apparatus, like Lieutenant Colonel Gaspard, is the Russian implantation, particularly through the Wagener group of mercenaries.

๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฉ Lieutenant Colonel Gaspard told us that the Wagener group was not currently established in Mali, but that the group had tried to establish itself in Chad, a border country. The French diplomatic corps has apparently negotiated with the Chadian authorities, who are very close to France, to drive the Russians out of Chad.

๐Ÿ’ฃ But Mali is much more unstable than Chad. For Lieutenant-Colonel Gaspard, there is no doubt that the Russians are positioning their pawns in this area, and that they are waiting for the French to leave before acting, as they did in the Central African Republic.

โœˆ๏ธ Lieutenant-Colonel Gaspard tells us that in the face of this reality, France will necessarily lose its footing in the area militarily and diplomatically.

โœŠ๐Ÿป But this does not mean that France will lose all influence. In the Central African Republic, Senegal, Congo, Niger or even Guinea, France itself has recourse to mercenaries and private contractors.

๐ŸŒณ Officially, these men are often hired for guarding missions in the country's large natural parks or in fishing areas. Unofficially, they provide military training and conduct intelligence and influence missions to keep a foothold in these countries

๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป It is likely that France will follow the same strategy in Mali, and if France has to go out the door by losing its military bases, it will come back in through the window with its own mercenaries.

๐Ÿ“Œ In conclusion: what is at stake in the Sahel is the future of the French zone of influence. There is a great risk that foreign countries (especially Russia) will establish themselves in these countries that were once loyal to France.

๐Ÿ”ฅ But France will nevertheless always succeed in maintaining local support, either through dependent allies (Chad), or through its own mercenaries and black ops, through those operations in the "gray zone" that allow it to compete with emerging powers, on equal terms, without the barrier of human rights. In this kind of situation, France has always had its own strategy: fighting fire with fire, copying the strategy of the enemy, in this case the Russians.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ”ฅ REVOLUTION VIBES IN FRANCE

๐ŸŽฆ Scenes of street fighting at the entrance of the Louvre Palace, symbol of the Revolution.

โ€ข

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป For 2 months, every week huge demonstrations have been taking place against the vaccine passport and mandatory vaccination.

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Until now, the demonstrations were mostly peaceful. But now a turning point has been reached: violence has started to break out.

โžก๏ธ This can be explained quite easily :
๐Ÿ‘ฎ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ On the one hand, the police seem to have received orders to use force aggressively.
โœŠ๐Ÿป On the other hand, the demonstrators are also more violent, because they are pissed off, because only the most motivated ones are left, because it is the beginning of the school year and students (from the left and the right) are demonstrating too.

โณ Objectively, the movement against the health passport seems to have reached an impasse.

๐Ÿ“Œ This suggests a rise in tensions until the end of the year, with increased violence as the demonstrators understand that the government will not back down

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป France has just announced that it has killed Adnan Abou Walid al Sahraoui the leader of The Islamic State in the Greater Sahara.

๐Ÿ”Ž The group had been formed in 2016 by former Polisario and Al Qaeda cadres. The leader of the group was blacklisted by the US due to the large number of civilians and soldiers his attacks had killed.

๐Ÿ“Œ By neutralizing the emir, France is disrupting the Islamic State in the region by creating a war of succession among the group's cadres, divided between pro-Daesh and pro-Al Qaeda

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ BIDEN'S BETRAYAL: THE UNITED STATES "STEALS" A $50 BILLION CONTRACT FROM FRANCE

๐ŸŒ Post available in : English๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง, Chinese๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ, Russian๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ and Arabic.
๐Ÿ‘€ Read the images for more information.


๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป In 2016, France had a contract worth 56 Billion Euros to supply Australia with 12 Nuclear Submarines.

๐Ÿ”Ž But on Thursday, September 16, 2021, President Biden announced that the United States had sealed an alliance with the United Kingdom and Australia against China. And that as such Australia would buy American submarines, not French ones.

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ At the request of the United States, Australia broke off the $50 billion "contract of the century" with France, without even warning France.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Many observers denounce this "stab in the back" by the Americans. As a reminder, following the events in Crimea, the Americans had forced France to break its contract with Russia on the Mistral aircraft carriers.

๐Ÿ“Œ And today, the Americans are thanking their ally by stealing its contracts.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ FRANCE HAS RECALLED ITS AMBASSADORS FROM THE US AND AUSTRALIA

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป France has recalled its ambassador from Washington as well as the ambassador in Australia.

๐Ÿ”Ž France accuses the USA of having betrayed France by "stealing" a 55 billion dollar contract.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Several Telegram channels such as Madam Secretar, Actualitรฉ FR and Awaken Dragon have mentioned this controversy : the United States are seeking allies in the Pacific to contain the Chinese advance.

๐Ÿค The United States has therefore sealed an alliance with Australia and the United Kingdom in this sense, via the contract on submarines.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ France pretends to raise its voice by recalling its ambassadors. But in reality, it is all theater.

๐Ÿ“Œ France needs the US more than the US needs France. So France will return to the American fold. And to make up for it, the USA will give France a contract of no importance (via the sale of Rafales or Mirage) or some geopolitical concessions in Africa.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ— HUNTERS DEMONSTRATE AGAINST THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป This Saturday, tens of thousands of hunters are demonstrating all over France as the government wants to ban a traditional form of hunting for "ecological" reasons.

โ„น๏ธ Hunters represent nearly 1 million people in France and they are particularly feared by the different governments.

๐Ÿ‘€ Indeed, they live in the rural areas of France, far from the metropolis. They have a rather traditional and minimalist way of life. They are known to support right-wing and far-right parties.

๐Ÿ”ฅ And above all, they own 2/3 of the firearms in circulation in France, about 20 million weapons.

๐Ÿ“Œ The government's fear is often that hunters will join protest movements like the Yellow Vests or the movement against the vaccine passport.

โ†ช๏ธ Sylviane Brochet killed by Cheriff Goussi, of Algerian origin.


๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป This morning of September 18 2010, Sylviane Brochet, 56 years old, mother of two children, reached her car in a parking lot of Lyon.

๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿพ But a young man is already in the parking lot. Cheriff Goussi is drunk, after a night spent drinking with friends and smoking cannabis,

๐Ÿš— The mother catches him breaking a car window. She asks him what he is doing.

๐Ÿ’ฅ Goussi then attacks Sylviane, and throws her to the ground. As she resists, he gives her several punches and bursts her head against the ground of the parking lot. He then drags her in a corner, but Sylviane starts to shout for help.

๐ŸงฏCheriff Roussi goes to get a fire extinguisher and hits Sylviane in the head to shut her up. Then he snatched her car keys.

โ˜ ๏ธ But he doesn't manage to steal the car. So to get revenge he goes back to Sylviane, agonizing, and he crushes her skull with the fire extinguisher. Then he rapes her.

โšฐ๏ธ The body of the mother of family will be found a few hours later.

๐Ÿšจ The culprit, Cheriff Goussi, was free on French soil although he had already been convicted three times for rape and assault.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ RUSSIA ESTABLISHES ITSELF IN EQUATORIAL GUINEA

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป According to the Russian media Fifth Republic and other corroborating sources, Russia is in the process of establishing itself in Equatorial Guinea through its Private Military Companies.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท Equatorial Guinea is part of the French zone of influence as well as its neighbor Gabon. It is an oil country and therefore strategic.

๐Ÿ”ฅ But for several months, the country has been in conflict with France. And for good reason: France is trying to push the authoritarian President Obiang towards the exit.

โš–๏ธ Thus, in July 2021 the French Court of Cassation (Supreme Court) condemned the Obang family for corruption and misuse of social assets.

๐Ÿ˜จ Since then, the Guinean president (and his family) feels threatened. He, who has always been close to Russia, is considering using Russian mercenaries to guarantee his security.

๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป The Guinean president fears in particular to be victim of a coup d'รฉtat led by a faction supported by France. He therefore hopes to be able to build up a close guard of Russian mercenaries to defend his power.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ซ A similar scenario took place in the Central African Republic, where Wagener soldiers were used by the local authorities.

๐Ÿ”Ž France has not yet reacted to this situation, but the establishment of Russian elements in the area would be a significant threat to French influence in the area and especially to French influence in neighboring Gabon.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Gabon is probably the state with which France has the most economic ties. The French oil giant, Total, is based in Gabon, as are powerful French investment funds that are betting on this small francophone country.

โณ The fear of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to see a domino effect where, one after the other, the countries under French influence in Africa would pass into the Russian fold, a potentially less demanding suzerain than France is.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญโœŠ๐Ÿป MASSIVE DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE VACCINE PASSPORT

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป Although Switzerland is not in the European Union, the country has followed the model of its neighbors and has implemented a health passport that deprives unvaccinated people of their right to travel in certain public places.

๐Ÿ”Ž Faced with this measure, Swiss citizens reacted en masse and gathered to demonstrate in Bern, the country's capital.

๐Ÿ“Œ Although the country is known for its pacifism, the demonstration ended violently, with police using water cannons to disperse the protesters. At least two people were injured.
