The military coup in Gabon follows a series of takeovers in former French colonies in Africa with some EU countries openly stating that the bloc's policy on the continent has failed. And another coup-besieged West African nation, Niger, strips the French ambassador of diplomatic immunity and reportedly gives French troops four days to leave the country amid growing anti-French sentiment. People in the country are fuming. Iran says that it foiled a sabotage attempt on its military-industrial complex by a group led by Israel's Mossad agency as tensions between the two countries heat up.
