Using boko haram as pretext to set up an Air base arround Nigeria is an act of total war since Boko haram failed to provide the pre-determined result, the hegemon went on to plan B. Surround Nigeria with base as if Base is what Nigeria needs at the moment.


The US Air Force is building a base for armed drones in Niger in order to combat militant groups in Africa’s vast Sahel region.

On April 16, the US and Niger flag were raised side by side at the base camp for air forces and other personnel supporting the construction of Niger Air Base 201 in Agadez, Niger, Military.com reported.

The drone base, costing $110 million, features a runway that is 6,800 feet long and 150 feet wide as it not only needs to accommodate drones such as the MQ-9 Reaper, but also the much heavier C-17 cargo planes. The MQ-9 Reaper is one of the most advanced drones available to the US Air Force. Niger Air Base 201 is expected to be functional early next year.

The drones at the base are expected to target several different al-Qaida and Islamic State group-affiliated factions in countries throughout the Sahel, a sprawling region south of the Sahara, including the area around Lake Chad, where the Nigeria’s Boko Haram insurgency has spread.

The intelligence gathered by the drones can be used by Niger and other U.S. allies for combating extremists, said Commander Brad Harbaugh, who is in charge of the new base.

The US-Africa Command spokeswoman Samantha Reho also welcomed the construction of the military facility:

“The location in Agadez will improve U.S. Africa Command’s capability to facilitate intelligence-sharing that better supports Niger and other partner nations, such as Nigeria, Chad, Mali and other neighbors in the region and will improve our capability to respond to regional security issues.”

However, there are some more incredulous opinion over the US aims in the Sahel region. Ibrahim Maiga, a Mali-based researcher for the Institute for Security Studies, pointed that more information needs to be known about the U.S. military presence in the region.

“The U.S. military footprint in the Sahel is difficult to grasp, just as it is not easy to assess its effectiveness,” he said according to AP. “There isn’t nearly enough information in the public space on this presence.”

E.J. Hogendoorn, the director of the International Crisis Group’s deputy Africa program in Washington said that the deployment may increase local hostility.

“The deployment of armed drones is not going to make a strategic difference and may even increase local hostility to the U.S. and the central government in distant Niamey”, the New York Times quoted Hogendoorn as saying.

The civic leader Nouhou Mahamadou also expressed concerns, according to the New York Times:

“The presence of foreign bases in general and American in particular is a serious surrender of our sovereignty and a serious attack on the morale of the Nigerien military.”

They are not there to help you, they're there to be ready to strike you in the future if you don't agree with them. Covert operations has been their thing since time immemorial, once the come theyre not going anywhere.

How I wish they will build one in Benue right now

What do you expect , under Buhari Nigeria has become the headquarters of terrorism in the world with different terrorist groups practicing their trade in different parts of Nigeria since we have a govt that's seems to be sympathetic to terrorism offering them free money and fighters in bizarre ransome deals

Ookay

Trump is the real enemy, an existential threat to Nigeria and its environ. It has been like that for years. He even mince no words when he said Africa needs to be colonized again, in reality this is what the Anglozionist empire have been hell bent on and doing for years slowly via soft power and regime change to a puppet regime. They are re-using the same old Jihadi Strategy with their Mujaheedin puppets or proxies.

You wish not please. It got even worse when american boots was invited by GEJ back then. My good Friend was even jailed for something he knew nothing about during that time(They claimed Mutiny, Go check Jasper http://saharareporters.com/2014/09/16/nigeria-sentences-12-soldiers-death-mutiny). it became terrible. Nigerian soldiers were being sold out to their Boko haram proxies and were just dieing any how. The Nigerian army got infiltrated even more and GEJ finally did the right thing. Told the hegemony soldiers or boots on the ground to leave Nigeria. GEJ shot himself in the leg when he told the empire to leave. GEJ played too much Politics with Nigerian lives and this is the main reason he could not win. He could have deleted the whole Boko haram formation but was trying to please his western master. When he sent all the Boots on the ground out, this move killed the political outcome of Boko Haram(the western proxies) and automatically signed all the angloziost puppets in Nigerian against him and notice how they immediately turned to the next more loyal Puppet, Buhari.. Again you would wish not... When they turn Benue to Next Syria.
