Nigeria needs drones, their own!!! I found the following report on RT News, the Russian news site.  Somebody explain to me why Nigeria can't afford their own drone.  They have money coming from oil exports, and as long as they don't invest in their own infrastructures the Islamist militants will have fertile feeding grounds. I miss Moammar Kadafi  and other African leaders who felt Africans should become truly independent, not depending on colonial/imperial powers for survival. For some reason or the other, those leaders seem become targets of such powers. -------------- ------------------------ ------------ ?US surveillance aircraft searching for abducted schoolgirls in Nigeria - report The United States has deployed manned surveillance aircraft over Nigeria in the pursuit of more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by Islamist militants, Reuters reported citing an anonymous senior Obama administration official. "We have shared commercial satellite imagery with the Nigerians and are flying manned ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) assets over Nigeria with the government's permission," the US official said. Washington has also sent military, law-enforcement, and development personnel to Nigeria to help in the search. Two other unnamed US officials told Reuters the US is considering sending unmanned drones to assist the search teams. Nigeria had requested US surveillance and intelligence, according to US Undersecretary for Africa Linda Thomas-Greenfield.   // // More can be seen on my blog: Picture_This!   //
