There are around 320 additional Special Forces personnel operating in West Africa, including three teams in the Niger Delta. The upsurge of Boko Haram violence in Northern Nigeria has attracted more. Others are working, with the Marines, in training exercises across Africa. There are three ‘Psychops’
groups operating in East Africa, especially in Kenya’s Northeast Frontier.
This is in addition to scores of private military corporations (like Dyncorp or the several companies formed by retired US brass).
