Late on Saturday 16 March 2024, Niger’s military junta announced that it has ended an accord with the US that allowed military personnel and civilian staff from the US Department of Defense to operate in Niger. This announcement came days after Niger held high-level talks with US diplomatic and military officials last week.

The US risks losing its military presence in another African country as the government of Chad sent a letter threatening to end a critical security agreement, according to four US sources, a move that threatens to cede more US influence in the region to Russia.

The US built a military base in Niger to combat armed groups that pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda and ISIL (ISIS) in the Sahel region, which also includes Burkina Faso and Mali.
The United States will withdraw its soldiers from Niger as the West African nation is increasingly turning to Russia and away from Western powers.
The US Department of State agreed to pull out about 1,000 troops from the country that has been under military rule since July 2023, US media reported late on Friday.

We just get better at managing this in-built trait, and the consequences of this.
Humans will be humans, it was ever thus.
The desire for some to force their own opinions on others for self gain, via religion, power, greed or pleasure, the ultimate competitor- it will NEVER change.
The US television premiere of Peter Watkins' film "The
War Game," a graphic portrayal of what would happen in the event
of a nuclear attack on Great Britain. The movie was so powerful
and realistic that the BBC banned it from TV despite the fact
that the film had been commissioned by the BBC and had won an
Academy Award in l966 for best documentary. Although it has been
shown in a few movie theatres in the US, it has not been
presented on TV. "The War Game" is shocking, but is not
sensationalized. It was carefully researched and based on actual
events which occurred in World War II during and after the mass
Allied raids on Germany and the atomic bombings of Japan.

Rather sobering, even depressing but all too often what are perceived as local conflicts in other parts of the world can lead to war on a much larger scale!
Some Local government officer were obligated to attend numerous government trainng courses on how central government imagined that local government would administer and run the areas of the UK that might have survived a nuclear strike.
Basically local government of surviving areas would be controlled and administered on order of seniority of surviving local government officers from blast proof bunkers, ours still remains now mothballed under a huge water company storage facility.
I thought these old public information films may be of interest to some, they were issued at a time when the UK/ USA governments were trying to downplay the effects of a nuclear strike.
Although made decades ago these films should be watched by every politician/leader the world over to demonstrate the stupidity of war and that once the nuclear button is pushed our the world and all living inhabitants are finished irrelevant of how much wealth and power they thought they had accumulated.
