Guess who paid a call on coup leaders who have left their border open with Niger? Russia's Deputy Defence Minister Yunus-bek Yevkurov was in Burkina Faso on Thursday to offer his services to junta leader Ibrahim Traoré.
It's the same Yevkurov who was in Libya simultaneously with Yevgeny Prigozhin's final tour of Africa. On that score, the Grey Zone Telegram channel Thursday published images of the late Wagner Group leader.
Last Friday, everyone gathered for his resignation speech. Instead, Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales stunned the world by defying the outrage over his forced kiss of World Cup winning striker Jenni Hermoso, refusing to quit.
One week on, he is still hanging on, despite the shame expressed by the likes of men's national team coach Luis de la Fuentes.
