US drone base to be built in Niger’s Agadez city in fight against Boko Haram and other militants

-






The United States plans to send more drones to a Saharan city in Niger that puts them closer to Islamist militants blamed for attacks in the region. After months of negotiations, Niger has authorised the U.S. to set up its second surveillance hub in Agadez, its second in the country. In response to increased terrorist activity from Boko Haram and other al Qaeda-linked groups, the U.S. and France are expanding their military presence in the region in response to increased Islamist terrorist activity. The allies set up joint surveillance drone hangars outside Niger’s capital Niamey in 2013, where 120 U.S. troops and 300 French troops were stationed. Nigerien officials told Reuters on Tuesday the U.S. has been given consent to set up a surveillance drone base in Agadez. It is unclear whether drones will continue to operate from Niamey.

Muslim Group to Charlie Hebdo: Don't Publish New Issue

An influential Muslim institution in Egypt has warned the French satirical magazine that was attacked by Islamist militants last week against publishing its new issue, which features a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on its cover. Egypt's official Religious Edict Authority, known as Dar El Ifta, said the magazine, Charlie Hebdo, is unnecessarily provoking the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide who love and respect the Prophet. Charlie Hebdo's new issue, which was sent to the presses Monday night, features on its cover a cartoon of a bug-eyed Prophet Muhammad shedding a tear and holding a sign that says Je Suis Charlie, the now-popular phrase of solidarity with the magazine. http://nbcnews.to/1DVm8yb http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

FUKUSHIMA ..The Worst Lie That Has Ever Been Committed Against The Human Race!

OH NO!, THEY SAY! DON'T LET THE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE THEN WE WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS... PROBLEMS, they say? The-Powers-That-Be are a group of sociopaths that cannot see beyond their own noses of greed, and in their haste to gather all of the world's monetary value and control, they have brought this on, with NO IDEA ON HOW TO CONTROL OR STOP IT! THEY HAVE OPENED THE PROVERBIAL PANDORA'S BOX AND NOW DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONTAIN OR STOP THE APOCALYPSE THEY HAVE CREATED. So what do we do now? I don't know, and even the world's nuclear scientists don't know. What should have been done was not, and that would have been to take over Japan when this first occured, and employ every nuclear scientist together into a think-tank, to attempt to solve it. At this point in time, if the UN did this now, it would be like trying to close the barn door AFTER the livestock has already escaped. It's too late!!! They would have us believe that the vastness of our oceans...
