More than 100 troops left in two flights from the capital Niamey on Tuesday in the first of what will be several rounds of departures between now and the end of the year, said French military spokesman, Col. Pierre Gaudilliere. All are returning to France, he said. Niger’s state television broadcast images of a convoy leaving a base in Ouallam in the north, saying it was bound for neighboring Chad, to the east. The departure comes weeks after French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France will end its military presence in Niger and pull its ambassador out of the country as a result of the coup that removed President Mohamed Bazoum in late July. Some 1,500 French troops have been operating in Niger, training its military and conducting joint operations.Also Tuesday, the junta gave the United Nations resident coordinator in Niger, Louise Aubin, 72 hours to leave the country, according to a statement from the Foreign Ministry. The junta cited “underhanded maneuvers” by the U.N. secretary-general to prevent its full participation in last month’s General Assembly in New York as one of the reasons.The military rulers had wanted Niger’s former ambassador to the United Nations, Bakary Yaou Sangare, who was made foreign minister after the coup, to speak on its behalf at the General Assembly. However, Bakary did not receive credentials to attend after the deposed Nigerien government’s foreign minister sent the world body a letter “informing of the end of functions of Mr. Bakary as permanent representative of Niger to the United Nations,” said U.N. spokesman, Stephane Dujarric.The U.N. did not immediately respond about the junta's demand for Aubin to leave. Since seizing power, Niger’s military leaders have leveraged anti-French sentiment among the population against its former colonial ruler and said the withdrawal signals a new step towards its sovereignty.The United States has formally declared that the ousting of Bazoum was a coup, suspending hundreds of millions of dollars in aid as well as military assistance and training. Niger was seen by many in the West as the last country in Africa's Sahel region — the vast expanse south of the Sahara Desert — that could be partnered with to beat back a growing jihadi insurgency linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group. French troops have already been ousted by military regimes in neighboring Mali and Burkina Faso, which are seeing a surge in attacks.Analysts warn that France's withdrawal will leave a security vacuum that extremists could exploit. “French forces might not have defeated these groups, but at least disrupted and limited their activities, said said Rida Lyammouri, senior fellow at the Policy Center for the New South, a Moroccan-based think tank.With the French out of the picture, these will likely "expand to areas where French forces were providing support to Nigerien forces, especially on the borders with Mali and Burkina Faso,” Lyammouri said. Violence has already spiked since the coup. In the month after the junta seized power, violence primarily linked to the extremists soared by more than 40%, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project. Jihadi attacks targeting civilians quadrupled in August, compared with the month before, and attacks against security forces spiked in the Tillaberi region, killing at least 40 soldiers, the project reported.___Associated Press writer Angela Charlton in Paris contributed to his report.。坏消息是,新一轮季节性强风“圣安娜风”来袭,助推当地规模最大的“帕利塞兹”山火向东推进,危及更多社区及知名机构,包括收藏大量艺术珍品的盖蒂中心。

二 | 加州眼下紧急调动多方资源,甚至加拿大和墨西哥也出动消防力量参与灭火和救援。风这么大,消防员没准备好面对时速可达100英里(约160公里)的“圣安娜风”,美国联邦紧急事务管理局局长迪妮·克里斯韦尔12日在电视新闻节目中直言,消防员们没有做好准备。克里斯韦尔说,当地消防员经验丰富,但“他们从未见过每小时100英里的大风助推火势,这些大风和(其他)天气条件才是真正影响火势的因素”。他们头几个小时、头几天能控制住多少火势,至关重要。1月11日,消防员在美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶曼德维尔峡谷的一座山丘顶部观望野火火势。新华社发(邱晨摄)气象部门预报,新一轮“圣安娜风”的风力预计12日清晨达到一个小高峰,最强风力或出现在13日夜间至14日。“圣安娜风”由内陆吹向沿海地区,强风叠加温暖干燥的天气,极易助长火势。

三 | 往年,加州通常在12月至来年2月降水较多,使得“圣安娜风”难以引发大规模野火。然而,洛杉矶去年下半年异常干旱、温度明显偏高,加上大旱之前一度雨水较多,当地植被过度生长,可燃物大幅增加……诸多要素叠满,大风一来,火情不容乐观。

四 | 知名机构云集,下个遭殃的是?洛杉矶地区是诸多文化和科研机构所在地,从好莱坞到喷气推进实验室,许多机构受到山火影响。

五 | 目前规模最大的两处山火分别位于东部的帕利塞兹地区和西部的伊顿地区。

六 | 其中,帕利塞兹山火尤为严重,过火面积达95.7平方公里,火势目前仅控制住11%。在新一轮“圣安娜风”影响下,这处山火将向东推进,知名艺术博物馆盖蒂中心首当其冲,处于最新疏散令范围内。1月11日,一架消防飞机在美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶曼德维尔峡谷的山丘上投放阻燃剂,以防止野火进一步蔓延。新华社发(邱晨摄)盖蒂中心建于1997年,收藏大量绘画、雕塑、装饰艺术和摄影作品,包括梵高名作《鸢尾花》及伦勃朗画作。不过,该中心认为该馆“已处在最安全的地方”,暂不打算撤走藏品和工作人员。在十多公里外,加州另一处标志性人文景点盖蒂别墅博物馆上周遭遇山火逼近,形势一度危急,目前尚未完全摆脱山火威胁。

七 | 受“伊顿”山火影响,美国航空航天局喷气推进实验室已处于疏散范围。美国加州大学洛杉矶分校已实施远程教学,校内艺术博物馆已关闭。同样关门的还有格里菲斯公园天文台、好莱坞华纳兄弟工作室、好莱坞露天剧场、杜比剧院等。(记者:王鑫方;视频:王沛)。
