It sounds like the CIA has been busy with their old tricks again.

Does anyone know if the UAV base in Niger has been launching any UAVs lately?

The French will not let their colonies go. France and Europe are resource poor and must rape Africa to survive.

And 50,000 Americans died because of it, in Vietnam.

Pray for Burkina Faso. They consider themselves, and are a proclaimed, Christian nation, surrounded by Muslims, including in country. My late husband flew their heads of state.

I read news for Namibia every day on multiple sites. English is their official language.

They report no conflicts there but tons in South Africa.

So your map isn’t hitting me as credible.
