FRANCE DEPLOYS MILITARY PLANES — TROOPS ENCIRCLE SAHEL

Описание: French military aircraft have reportedly landed in Benin Republic — just miles from Niger’s border — as a wider military buildup unfolds across West Africa. At the same time, Western troop deployments in Nigeria, logistics activity in Ghana, and long-standing French presence in Ivory Coast are raising new questions about the region’s shifting security landscape and the growing tensions surrounding the Alliance of Sahel States.

In this episode, we break down the confirmed aircraft movements, the strategic importance of Benin’s location, and why Niger’s leadership is closely watching developments along its borders. We also connect the West African story to events in Madagascar, where deepening Russia–Madagascar cooperation is reshaping geopolitical dynamics in the Indian Ocean.

Is this a routine security posture — or a sign of a broader strategic contest for influence across Africa?
