US Eyes Ivory Coast for Drone Base to Solidify Ties With West Africa | Firstpost Africa | N18G


Amid growing instability in the Sahel region and shifting geopolitical dynamics, the United States is actively pursuing closer security ties with the Ivory Coast, including discussions about establishing a drone base in the West African nation. This development comes as the US seeks to reposition its military presence in the region following its withdrawal from Niger. The strengthening partnership was highlighted during a recent visit by US Marine Corps General Michael Langley, Commander of US Africa Command (AFRICOM), who attended the opening ceremony of Flintlock 2025 in Jacqueville on April 24. During his visit, a key topic of discussion was the potential establishment of a drone base in Ivory Coast. While no final decision has been made regarding constructing a permanent facility, advanced talks are reportedly underway between the US and Ivorian authorities. Watch this video to know more.
