a local base also and additional troops deployment this operation supports the long term strategic partnership between the united states in nigeria as well as the ongoing effort to counter violent extremism throughout the region all in the name of the war on terror since nine eleven the pentagon has been hell bent on dropping bombs from on afghanistan yemen pakistan somalia the lineup goes on really but for civilians in those countries a distant buzz up in the sky can be a death warrant in fact a u.s. drones have slaughtered someone in a half thousand civilians according to an estimate by the bureau of investigative journalism and the figure shouldn't really come as much of a surprise to anyone who's seen what has been among the drones targets the same unit which would be in charge of news year drone operations is standing accused of killing ten civilians in somalia this summer something the u.s.

africa command has denied now that the u.s. is apparently planning to open a new front in the drone war this could also mean more work for the pentagon subpoena our machine you've done of our. in october the death of four u.s. soldiers in an ambush in the share revealed america's military presence in the country something even senior u.s. politicians seemed unaware of american troops were deployed under the obama administration to help uneasy arion forces find local terrorist cells african affairs analyst lawrence freeman says west african countries come under a lot of pressure from their western allies probably worse than a thousand troops in the year and this will now give the increase that over a thousand this is the first time now that armed drones will be flying so this is a big problem for the new year government and for west africa and for all the africa. is now allowing united states to carry out these kinds of military

attacks. you will not work it's not going to be successful without a war do strategic picture and the african countries now are being pressured by the west and the trump ministration to allow these armed drones another move theory build up and i'm sure it's going to cause the many many internal problems and it will not solve the problem of terrorism. in our take submission devoted to the concept of martyrdom has sparked controversy by featuring terrorists alongside the likes of socrates and martin luther king jr those behind the show say they want people to think about what motives are merely means peace to all of it has the story. an exhibition called maltese museum has just opened in the german capital alongside socrates and mostly sicking jr it places those that flew planes into the

world trade center at the attack is of the but cyclone theater the suicide bomb that it killed forty people on the moscow metro saying that they are all examples of people that gave their lives for what they believe did it's all part of a festival of knowle the new european oh it is the brainchild of today both the organizes and the artists themselves refused to either give us an interview or to allow me to film the exhibition they did send this e-mail. what do the people of bilin think about must militarists being venerated in this way is it right to put these people on display in this type of exhibition here in the know from you know like it's just a reference i think that people would have differing perspectives obviously lumping different groups of people together is always a complicated subject because they come from different backgrounds i don't know i don't think so why. just be at two different types of people and it's not the same

move we agree with even perspective on more news is not for us to decide because it is i pretty much us the exhibition is about is about moving the psychology behind most of them or towards people who do certain things it's not a problem as long as the exhibition focuses on the differentiation of martyrdom that could potentially lead to murder curses martyrdom that that you know the civil rights for example like that should be sick human rights the motto or. die only for themselves or believe yeah yeah in what they have believed and now on that murder because they count i'm not that person are many other person so i don't think that's. previously explained to the media that the idea was to try and put yourself in the mindset of somebody who's willing

to die for what they believed in even if that belief was horrific to you a sensory experience using lights and sounds to try and explain the. terrorist. freedom fighter. the point is to present a complex view on the world of monsters and we understand that everyone has a different perspective but it's the personal perspective that matters in this exhibition but for some it's impossible to see the artistic contention beyond the reality of an exhibition that places must murderers alongside civil rights champions peter all of our lives. and in the german city of hannover there have been fierce clashes between riot police and anti a.f.d. party protesters the activists who are trying to disrupt a congress all the party known for its anti immigration rhetoric.

resignation in february of this year nothing about the guilty plea all the charge implicates any one of the mr frewen we've had several indictments at this point individuals who misled federal officials made false statements are now facing criminal charges but as of yet the collusion story isn't really materializing could findings with phil flynn contacted the russian ambassador i'll ask him to delay or defeat on a un resolution involving israel they also discussed their response to the sanctions imposed by the a-bomb administration these contacts potentially violates the centuries old luke an act which prohibits americans from negotiating with foreign governments of existing disputes with the us however since the act was passed not a single person has been successfully prosecuted under the rules. but school commentators steve malzberg sais donald trump is unlikely to be badly damaged by
