President Obama has announced the deployment of 100 troops to the African nation of Niger, with an eye toward protecting the drone base currently being built in the nation, which neighbors Mali.
The drone base itself was not explicitly revealed in the letter revealing the Niger deployment, and instead simply couched the deployment as important for “intelligence collection,” meaning surveillance drones.
But officials refused to say whether attack drones would also be flown out of the base, saying only that the first flights over Mali are “imminent” The first drone flights will come out of Niamey, but with an eye toward the eventual deployment from a base near Agadez, which is closer to the areas of Mali they want to surveil.
The US signed a deal with Niger’s government last month ensuring legal immunity for any US ground troops operating in the nation. At the time they refused to comment on the deployment plans, but today’s statement suggests that only 40 of the troops are new arrivals, and that the other 60 were there for some time.
After the election I have more flexibility…, Obama.
We said it from day one.., this man is elected to harm African nations and he started his mission in Libya, Libya was not about Libya oil or water passages or other nonsense we have heard here and there.., Libya was about Africa and Africa is about us imperialism. Look: every us presidents had to give something to the world vulture capitalism systems, Bill Clinton divided Yugoslavia for English, the French, the Swedish and the Germans and for us militarism regime to have a base in Eastern Europe, George W. Bush the Iraq -Afghanistan and now is about Africa, dividing nations in religious lines, stealing African people's wealth is the agenda.., democracy.., what democracy, honesty and transparency.., are you kidding me.
Such a surprise that this drone base installation comes so soon after the recent events in Mali. Further, that the location of the permanent drone base will be near the small city of Agadez, not far from the Mali border. Well, where's that? Just so happens to be in close proximity to the massive uranium mines in the Air Mountains. Remember all those lies about how Saddam, and how he was supposedly getting uranium from Niger? That's the part of Niger in question, right now. Niger is either the 4th or 6th biggest producer of uranium in the world, and so far, it's been almost totally a French operation. But now China wants a piece of that action, so guess what? Terrorist threat time.
