 Niger says military activity in capital brought under control Niger's defense minister said Saturday that military activity in the capital, Niamey, had been brought under control and security forces had regained control of critical sites that were targeted. Gen. Salifou Mody's remarks were broadcast on national television after heavy gunfire and explosions were reported around Diori Hamani International Airport and the presidential palace in Niamey. Mody said a group of soldiers had "broken away from military order" and attempted to detain some of their fellow soldiers at the Base 101 military facility in Niamey before opening fire on several critical sites in the capital. He said the activity was brought under control thanks to the swift intervention of Nigerien defense and security forces, adding that control was gradually restored in the targeted areas. Mody urged residents of Niamey to remain calm and continue their daily activities as usual.

 UK Will Not Pay Out Reparations for Slavery in Cash, Foreign Secretary Says


The concept of reparations doesn’t necessarily mean paying out money but also sharing skills and experience, UK’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy said in an interview to a Western TV broadcaster during his trip to Nigeria, Sputnik reported.


"The concept of reparations for former colonial nations affected by slavery is not about the transfer of cash, particularly at a time of a cost of living crisis," David Lammy said, as quoted by the media.


The report noted that the UK has never apologized for its policy in colonial time, although Lammy stated the opposite.


Earlier, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa said that the UK should apologize and pay reparations for colonizing Zimbabwe. The president pointed out that the UK and Germany had apologized to the Mau Mau of Kenya and the Mbanderu, Herero, and Nama in Namibia, respectively. He underscored that the time had come for Zimbabwe to achieve justice for the country.
