 No good deed goes unpunished.  A Florida sea tow captain saved a man from a burning ship only to be shoved overboard and have his boat stolen. This shocking incident occurred near Marco Island on March 6th. On that date, a call went out regarding a burning boat. The captain of a sea tow boat heard the distress call and rushed to provide aid. He was able to quickly locate the burning boat and  discovered 40-year-old, Ryan Deiter, and his dog onboard the burning ship. Wasting no time, the captain of the sea tow boat was able to maneuver alongside the distressed boat and begin efforts to extricate Deiter and his dog from the doomed vessel.  Eventually, the sea tow captain was able to pull both Deiter and his dog onboard the tow boat. However, once Deiter was pulled to safety, he repaid a stranger's kindness with treachery.  Deiter shoved the captain from his own boat and fled the scene in the stolen boat, leaving the man who had just risked his own vessel and life...

 Benin, Niger expel each other's diplomats in tit-for-tat move


Two years of tension between Benin and Niger this week saw the West African neighbours carry out a tit-for-tat expulsion of diplomats, diplomatic sources in both states said on Sunday, AFP reported.


Relations have been frosty since Niger's military coup against President Mohamed Bazoum in July 2023.


Niger claims that Benin wants to destabilise it, an allegation Cotonou denies.


Recent days saw Benin expel an intelligence agent and a police officer stationed at the Niger embassy in Cotonou, according to a Beninese diplomatic source, who did not specify a reason.


'Persona non grata'


In retaliation, Niger, in a note dated Thursday, declared the first counsellor of Benin's embassy in Niamey "persona non grata" and gave him 48 hours to leave the country, citing a reciprocal move.


Niger is allied with Burkina Faso and Mali, its two neighbours which are also under transitional rule. All three states have left the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which Benin is part of, to form a confederation called the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).


The trio share an anti-imperialist and pro-sovereignty vision and have criticised West African coastal countries which have maintained ties with former colonial ruler, France.
