In fulfilling its pledge to offer further help to Nigeria in
the fight against insurgency, the US government has built a drone base in Niger
Republic.
Drone attacks will soon be deployed against the terrorists.
The strategic location is expected to help focus on the
terrorists in Mali, Niger and Nigeria.
Conversely, security experts have expressed concern over the
possibility of civilian causalities.
The Punch reports
that the US drone base is nearing completion in Agadez, a town in Niger
Republic which would serve as the launch ground for attacks against terrorists
in Libya, Mali and Nigeria.
The project reportedly costs $100 million which is an
indication of the US’s seriousness in the fight against terrorism.
