▶️Is France losing Africa? Mali and Burkina Faso said they would consider intervention in Niger as a declaration of war. The two countries have also threatened to withdraw from the Economic Community of West African States.

They express solidarity with the 'brotherly people of Niger' who have decided to 'take their destiny into their own hands with full responsibility'.

This support from Mali could play a key role in the battle for Niger. After all, it was one of the first countries in West Africa to decolonise. How did it happen and what did it lead to? You'll learn in our new film, 'Mali: Au Revoir, France'. It's premiering tomorrow; don't miss it!

▶️The Battle for Africa is on! After Niger military officers removed the pro-French president from power, Burkina Faso and Mali promised to support their neighbour in case of foreign intervention.

The race for the African continent and its natural resources began in the late 19th century. By WWI, the spheres of influence had been finally divided with France controlling almost all the Western part, including Mali. Locals claim they will never forget the horrors of being a French colony. ‘They killed us; they raped us. They used us as their tools,’ says DR Amadou Maiga, economic sciences PhD.

Though in 1960 Mali gained independence, France retained its influence. Having seized all the main deposits of resources, the French kept exploiting the country’s economy.

Years later, Malians know that France will always want to maintain control of their country - but they promise to fight for their independence. Discover more about the roots of the French colonialism in Africa, and its bloody consequences, in ‘Mali: Au Revoir, France’.

📸More footage of migrants sleeping right on the streets of NYC has appeared. Hundreds are at the Roosevelt hotel - once an icon of New York architecture, and now a mere migrant reception centre. The city is drowning in immigrants, and the shelters and hotels are overflowing. Buses have been organised for people to sleep in, but that’s far from sufficient to meet their needs.

Why is the migrant problem so difficult for US authorities to solve? Find out in our documentary ‘US and the Wall’.
