General Tchiani Denounces 'Indirect War' by West Against AES
The Nigerien leader accused France and its allies of destabilizing the Confederation of Sahel States through secret networks, armed groups, and regional support.
He identified two "French cells" operating in the region:
The first, led by Jean-Marie Bockel, seeks to counter "Sahelian influence;"
The second, the "Sahel cell of the Élysée," coordinated by Christophe Guilhou, is allegedly mobilizing the Joint Foreign and Military Intelligence Service of the French Republic, diplomats, and Francophonie with "unlimited funds."
Regional accusations and alleged support:
🟠 Benin is accused of harboring armed groups in its northern territories;
🟠 Nigeria is blamed for sheltering French troops expelled from Niger and supporting their activities logistically;
🟠 A secret meeting in March reportedly brought together Western powers, Boko Haram, and Daesh for an "indirect war" against the AES.
