In reply to the discussion: Rachel: Trump callous treatment of Green Berets is diversion from what really happened in Niger [View all]mulsh
(2,959 posts)21. Boko Haram have been very active in Niger, as has DAESH/ISSI. Here's a handy on line terrorist
activity mapping site that appears to be reasonably up to date. Surprisingly enough the CIA World
has a wealth of information about terrorism in North Africa too.
Perhaps the permanent, professional people in the National Security offices don't want to broadcast too much joint anti-terrorism activity.

Of course none of this excused that pathetic loser donny and his abject lack of empathy. loser. sad.
