Due to time constraints in the “live” program, tributes by Gar Alperovitz, Coleen Rowley, and Ray McGovern were not able to be included so will be added, as will the more extensive tributes by those featured here. So this is Part I, with Part II to be added which will have the complete comments and tributes.

Antiwar.com News Editor Dave DeCamp appeared this morning on Rising at The Hill to explain Victoria Nuland’s visit to Niger. Acting Deputy Secretary of State Nuland traveled to Niger and met with members of the junta that ousted Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum in a July 26 coup. She met with General Moussa Salaou Barmou to voice “concerns” over the coup. General Barmou was trained by US special forces.

The Biden Administration has backed threats of military intervention to reinstate Bazoum made by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The US has been cooperating militarily with Niger for many years and has about 1,100 troops in the country, along with a major drone base. Burkina Faso, Mali, and Guinea have vowed to oppose any intervention, which could put the US into another proxy war.
