What were Canadian special forces even doing in Niger in the first place?
this but unironically, wtf were they doing?
Canadian special forces have been involved in the U.S.-led Flintlock training exercises in Africa for more than 10 years. During that time, they have trained troops from Niger during five different Flintlock exercises.
From the article. As to why Canadian special forces were involved in training African troops, I couldn’t say.
According to this article it was for “counter-terrorism training in al Qaeda’s newest breeding ground (Niger)”.
Getting some sun tan? It’s hard to get in Canada, so…
