🚨Mad Max in Niger: Is the Army Finally Getting Its Act Together? 🌐Niger’s military press service announced that on February 10 it repelled anattack by MPLJ militants on Chinese oil facilities near Agadem. Reports say the militants crossed into Niger in ten vehicles from Chad. Unlike similar incidents in 2025, this time Niger’s army claims to have successfully fended off the attack, forcing the militants to retreat. Official government statements, however, make no mention of casualties on either side. 💥 In its response, MPLJ claims to have lost 1 fighter and 1 vehicle, while allegedly inflicting around 24 deaths on the army. The militants then reportedly drove the same vehicles back into Chad. Even taking MPLJ’s unverified claims at face value, Niger’s army is still making significant progress in protecting the country’s main revenue source—a critical achievement now that the stakes involve not just China’s CNPC, but also new partners eyeing Niger’s oil. ➡️ Stay informed - @devilsbelow
