NIAMEY, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Niger's junta, which seized power in a  coup  on July 26, said on Friday it had ordered French ambassador Sylvain Itte to leave the country within 48 hours, as relations between the West African country and its former colonial ruler deteriorated further. Like recent coups in neighbouring Burkina Faso and Mali, the military takeover in Niger came amid a growing wave of anti-French sentiment, with some locals accusing the European country of interfering in their affairs. In a statement, the junta-appointed foreign ministry said the decision to expel the ambassador was a response to actions taken by the French government that were "contrary to the interests of Niger." It said these included the envoy's refusal to respond to an invitation to meet Niger's new foreign minister. The French foreign ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Official-seeming statements were shared widely online on Friday that appeare

Image Credit: Dispatch UG. Hajara was stopped again for speeding by a traffic officer, and she knew she was in trouble. She had 5 unpaid traffic tickets. So they told her that her car was going to be impounded until she paid off all her tickets. When the traffic man tried to enter the car, she refused to let him in and insisted that they allow her to drive to the police station and they could follow if they wanted, but she did not want a traffic man in the car with her. Immediately her car was taken by a ‘breakdown’ to the station, and she now has to pay for breakdown costs. WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?. By law, a traffic officer has the power to stop you on the road and ask to inspect your driving permit. In some cases, if you are not able to drive, or you disagree with the assessment, you do not accept the traffic ticket, and then the officer can decide that your car must be taken to the police station. This can be done in one of two ways. You can use towing services (‘a breakd

Two U.K. teenagers have been convicted by a jury in London for being part of the notorious LAPSUS$ transnational gang and for orchestrating a series of brazen, high-profile hacks against major tech firms and demanding a ransom in exchange for not leaking the stolen information. This includes Arion Kurtaj (aka White, Breachbase, WhiteDoxbin, and TeaPotUberHacker), an 18-year-old from Oxford, and an unnamed minor, who began collaborating in July 2021 after having met online, BBC reported this week. Both the defendants were initially arrested and released under investigation in January 2022, only to be re-arrested and charged by the City of London Police in April 2022. Kurtaj was subsequently granted bail and moved to a hotel in Bicester after he was doxxed in an online cybercrime forum. He, however, continued his hacking spree, targeting companies like Uber , Revolut , and Rockstar Games , as a result of which he was arrested again in September. Another alleged member of
