In reaction to the drone wars with Al Qaeda, President Obama sent about 100 American soldiers to Niger to set up a new base. This new base will allow for unarmed Predator aircraft to survey the region.
African leaders signed a deal backed by the U.N. that is meant to bring some peace to the DR of Congo. The country is fighting the M23 rebel group in the eastern region of their country. Maybe some peace can be brought to a region that has been engulfed in war for many years now.
