Скачать или смотреть Tensions Explode: 2 French Military Cargo Planes Land in Benin as Analyst Warns of "Destabilization"

Tensions in West Africa just escalated dramatically. Two French military cargo aircraft have landed in Benin amid growing suspicions that Paris is preparing for a destabilization operation against the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).

In this video, we break down the latest developments:

🇫🇷 What we know: Two French cargo planes—suspected to be carrying special forces—touched down in Cotonou, Benin. This comes just weeks after Niger's military leader, General Abdourahamane Tiani, accused France, Benin, and Ivory Coast of being behind the January 29 attack on Niamey airport that killed 20 assailants—including one French national .

🔍 The analyst warning: Malian political analyst Abdoulaye Diallo tells Sputnik Africa that French President Emmanuel Macron "wants to take revenge against the AES member countries following their decision not to submit to the will of the West." Diallo warns that France will continue using "terrorist methods to eliminate heads of state who are obstacles to their interests" .

⚠️ The bigger picture: Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) recently warned that Paris is plotting "neo-colonial-style coups" across Africa and has begun "providing direct support to terrorists of all sorts" . Meanwhile, Niger's Tiani has alleged that Benin's northern territory is now controlled by "French and Ukrainian mercenaries" collaborating with terrorist groups .

What happens now? With the AES joint force expanding to 6,000 troops and Russian partners supporting regional armies, is the Sahel heading for a direct confrontation with French forces?
