AFRICOM Outsourcing Violence & Surveillance
Contractors run U.S. spying missions in Africa- Washington Post

“The previously unreported practice of hiring private companies to spy on huge expanses of African territory — in this region and in North Africa, where a similar surveillance program is aimed at an al-Qaeda affiliate — has been a cornerstone of the U.S. military’s secret activities on the continent.
