Messi Scores Another Stunning Brace As Inter Miami Defeat Fc Dallas.

Lionel Messi's stunning brace helped Inter Miami seal a dramatic victory against FC Dallas to reach the quarter-finals of the Leagues Cup on Sunday.

FC Dallas led 4-2 with 10 minutes left but two late goals took the game to a penalty shootout.

Miami won the shootout 5-3 at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas.

Miami were winless in 11 before Messi's arrival but have now won four in a row.

The former Barcelona and Paris St-Germain forward opened the scoring after six minutes, sweeping a curling shot inside the near post from outside the penalty area, but Dallas were 3-1 ahead with just over an hour played.

Midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi reduced the deficit for Miami but a Robert Taylor own goal restored Dallas' two-goal cushion.

Miami were given hope in the 80th minute when Marco Farfan headed a Messi cross into his own net, before the 36-year-old World Cup winner curled home a stunning free-kick to level the tie five minutes later, taking his tally to seven goals in four appearances.

Messi set Miami on their way in the penalty shootout with former Barcelona team-mate Sergio Busquets also keeping his cool from 12 yards as Paxton Pomykal's miss for Dallas proved costly.

Inter Miami are the first club to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Leagues Cup, which debuted in 2019 and involves teams from the United States and Mexico competing in a knockout format.

August 7, 2023 Italy Urges ECOWAS To Extend Deadline For Military Intervention In Niger

Italy Urges ECOWAS To Extend Deadline For Military Intervention In Niger

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has called for a diplomatic approach to resolving the crisis in Niger, as reported by Reuters on August 7, 2023.

 He stressed the importance of extending the deadline set by ECOWAS, which had expired the night before.

In a statement to La Stampa newspaper, Tajani stated, "The only way is the diplomatic one. I hope that the ultimatum of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which expired last night at midnight, will be extended today." The situation escalated when Niger closed its airspace on August 6, 2023, without any indication of when it will reopen.

The closure came amid perceived threats of military intervention by the West African regional bloc in response to the coup that ousted President Mohammed Bazoum.

 Currently, President Bazoum remains in detention, contributing to tensions and uncertainties in Niger's political landscape. The coup leaders' rejection of the deadline complicates the resolution process, leaving ECOWAS with limited options to ensure a peaceful transition of power.

Following the July 26 coup, thousands of junta supporters gathered at a stadium in Niamey, expressing their approval of not yielding to external pressure to step down by ECOWAS's deadline. The gathering highlighted the deep divide within the country over the legitimacy of the current leadership.

Female Soldier Shoots Captain During Adamawa Curfew

In a shocking incident at a checkpoint in Yola, the state capital of Adamawa, a female soldier enforcing the curfew imposed by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has killed a Major.

The curfew was put in place after hoodlums looted government warehouses, including palliatives intended to alleviate the impact of fuel subsidy.

The Lance Corporal identified as NKIRU allegedly engaged in a confrontation with civilians at the Fire Service Round About during the curfew. She insisted that motorists returning home must turn back, even when some of them revealed they were essential workers on duty.

When the Captain attempted to intervene, the female soldier, who had her rifle cocked, accidentally fired, resulting in the tragic death of the Major.

The victim was immediately rushed to the Federal Medical Centre in Yola, where he was pronounced dead. The female soldier was apprehended by fellow soldiers and taken into custody.

Reports suggest that she had a history of allegedly harassing civilians and showing aggression with her weapon at the slightest provocation.
