Benin blocks Niger oil exports in border row Benin has prevented neighbouring Niger from using its port to export its first crude oil, as a border dispute rages between the two nations. President Patrice Talon's government is demanding that landlocked Niger reopens its side of the border if it wants to use Benin's ports. Mr Talon accused Niger of treating its neighbour like an “enemy”.
Benin and other West African nations imposed sanctions on Niger, including border closures, in a bid to force the military to hand back power to the elected government. The sanctions by the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) were eased in February, and were expected to normalise trade relations with Niger.
But Niger refused to open its land border for goods coming from Benin.

Post from a Wagner officer commenting on rumors from Moscow that they are to be relocated from the Central African Republic (CAR):: While I was in Africa I got to the Internet, my colleagues in the shop were already ahead, but I will also add.
❗️There is no talk of any withdrawal, withdrawal or replacement of the Wagner Group on the African continent. All groups continue to carry out service and combat missions in the affected areas as before.
The disseminated information not only does not correspond to reality, but is also not confirmed by the stated facts (certain audio recordings of two commanders - Iceman and Salem).
Apparently someone decided to put a penny on the well-known TG channels again, and all because their customers were recently again denied in one of the African countries with the presence of the Wagner Group.
African executives use proven Companies💀. Soldiers use proven Airlines🤙. And you, friends, read verified Sources.
