🗣 "Instead of 12 posture locations there are no less than 18 outposts in addition to Camp Lemonnier"

The US Department of Defense has lied to Congress about its shady activities in Africa, Tunde Osazua, peace campaigner, told Sputnik

Osazua explained that General Michael Langley, commander of the US Africa Command, had briefed Congress on the military's facilities in Africa, including the 'enduring forward operating sites' at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti and the Cat Hill air base on Ascension Island, the tiny British South Atlantic colony, along with 12 other "posture locations".
