Quick Glance: US considers options in Africa following Niger junta's withdrawal demand
  • The Pentagon is collaborating with Niger officials to find a way for US troops to remain in the country, a crucial base for counterterrorism operations in sub-Saharan Africa, despite receiving a directive to leave.

  • A high-level delegation of US officials, including Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Molly Phee, Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Celeste Wallander, and top military officials, traveled to Niger last week to engage with members of the military junta.

  • The junta in Niger has been largely in control of the country since July, when the democratically elected president of the country was overthrown by mutinous soldiers who later requested French forces to withdraw.

  • The US base in Niger is vital for US counterterrorism efforts in the Sahel region and has been used for manned and unmanned surveillance operations. Currently, only drone flights for protection are being conducted.

Quick Glance: According to Yale academics, Russia's economy is literally crumbling.
  • According to two Yale experts, Russia's economy is in shambles, and economic statistics promoted by the country's central bank are "pure invention" of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

  • The central bank recently revised its GDP forecast, expecting that the economy will grow by 1% or fall by 1% this year, after previously estimating a 1%-4% drop.

  • Those figures, however, are "fictional," according to Sonnenfeld and Tian.

  • "Sonnenfeld and Tian were particularly critical of the International Monetary Fund, which have factored in Russia's economic projections in their own analysis of the nation's economy."

  • Russia's economy is expected to decline this year, according to the World Bank, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs.
