Obama deploys drones, US military personnel to Niger

Obama deploys drones, US military personnel to Niger - U.S. News
The president notified Congress on Friday under the War Powers Act, which requires him to tell Congress when heavily armed U.S. military personnel are newly deployed to a region or nation.
Obama told Congress that the U.S. military presence was under the consent of the government of Niger, and that they would “facilitate intelligence-sharing” with the French. He said that the American military personnel were armed 'for their own protection and security'.
