Hafthar may have made a mistake attacking; the disparate groups and militias inside the capitol are banding together now against the common threat. I don't know what the Mistrata militias are up to. Maybe attacking the rear once Haftar's reserves are committed?

I thought the fbi murdered x and tried to blame it on islam

Malcolm X was seen as a threat by the FBI but to clap him they used shooters from the NOI.

isn't that a local government issue? I read that Chinese construction projects only use Chinese labor when the government gives them a tight deadline and they can't afford to scout hire and train locally. not like I did a deep dive on the legitimacy of that article but I know China uses local workers frequently

In an interview the former Minister for Public Works in Liberia claimed 83% of labor on Chinese infra projects was local. The exceptions were like you said, when there is a tight deadline or it was more common a decade ago when there was less of a local talent pool.

A year ago I read a short but well sourced article about how the U.S. was grooming the Nigerian military to be its proxy force in West Africa under Africom. At the time I didn't know how much was motivated reasoning but Nigeria's president's offer to lead the ECOWAS forces seems to bear it all out.
I thought it was published by Geopolitical Economy Report but I can't find it on their website. Any chance someone here knows what I'm talking about or has another similar article? I'd like to show something well sourced to a friend.

The weeks leading up the the Azeri invasion had Amerians protesting the Russian peacekeepers and even blocking a humanitarian corridor they were supposed to open up. Seems like a bad idea to drive off the tripwire blocking your neighbor from war. Especially since there is no way NATO will tell Turkey and Israel to cut support for Azerbaijan.
