 Algeria gifts Niger four military helicopters Niger's military has received four military helicopters and other equipment gifted by Algeria, airport and security sources told AFP on Tuesday. Arriving in the Nigerien capital Niamey on Sunday, the shipment included four attack and transport helicopters, spare parts, maintenance equipment and ammunition, an airport source said. Niger's air force chief of staff, General Salifou Mainassara, formally received the donation on Monday at a ceremony attended by Algerian military officials, a security source said.

Former Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa‑Johnson shared a viral account of leaving her first‑class seat on a flight to Milan after feeling targeted by microaggressions. 


In a social media post, she explained that five of the six passengers in the cabin were older white men, and she believed a flight attendant treated her with substandard service because she was a Black woman. 


She said she chose to downgrade to business class to protect her peace of mind, even at the expense of physical comfort.


Her comments drew mixed reactions online. Some users expressed support, telling her she deserved better treatment, while others mocked her account, comparing it to Rosa Parks and joking about the supposed “microaggression” of being offered champagne. 


The incident quickly became a talking point across social media, with critics dismissing her complaints and supporters highlighting the persistence of racial bias in everyday experiences.


Karefa‑Johnson has been outspoken about her values before. In October 2023, she resigned from her role as editor‑at‑large at Vogue in protest over Israel’s invasion of Gaza, saying she wanted to take a stand in solidarity and move on from institutions that no longer reflected her beliefs. 


Her latest viral post continues to showcase her willingness to speak candidly about issues of race, identity, and the environments she navigates as a prominent figure in fashion.
