@ourt_destiny shared:
"It’s okay for them to enter AES airspace? Mali and Burkina Faso."
@the_TBoy added:
"Russia has equiped the military of Burkina Faso. One mistake from Nigeria and they will smell pepper."
@Unknownobserve4 wrote:
"If this is a routine flight why would they not have clearance to enter the airspace on the way, that's fishy."
@iamkngjabulani stressed:
"They enter a country illegally with military aircraft and you said it's nothing too suspicious."
@mukholitrevor noted:
"How about their recent canoodling with France, still no suspicion, any intel if the plane had any cargo?"
@DanielD15687147 added:
"I'm beginning to think this is a trap by France to stir an escalation between AES and ECOWAS. when the plane got missing I thought they switched off the transponder to avoid tracking but the emergency landing in a violated airspace is suspicious."
@P_Obielusi shared:
"Everything is suspicious. You don't intend to fly through an unfriendly territory carrying whatever you're carrying and then possibly turn off your transponder. This is while not seeking permission to go through. Everything reeks of suspicion."
@Torhile007 said:
"On what purpose where they heading to Senegal in the first place?"
@Meddy_02 noted:
"How can you be certain that he was heading specifically to Senegal and nowhere else? Is this a statement of fact or a possibility?"
