U.S. Military Moves Drone Fleet

Leaves Horn of Africa after accidents.

Maybe Djibouti would feel differently if they knew about the pizza delivery drone. The Djibouti government’s fears about accidents and other mishaps has caused the U.S. government to relocate a large fleet of drones in this Horn of Africa nation. The drones have been moved temporarily to a makeshift airstrip from the U.S. military base Camp Lemonnier, the U.S. hub for counterterrorism operations in Yemen and Somalia and the key center of operations in the fight against al-Shabab, al Qaeda’s wing in Somalia that has claimed responsibility for the Nairobi mall siege. The Pentagon has pledged $1 billion to upgrade Camp Lemonnier to a major regional base, but it’s unclear how moving the drones will affect those plans.
