It should be noted that this military exercise ‘African Lion’ of Morocco started from last April. Exercises are held in different places in Tunisia, Ghana, Senegal and Morocco. African countries have been conducting this exercise every year since 2004. African Lion is America’s largest annual joint military exercise on the African continent. Every year, top leaders from America as well as African countries participate in this exercise. The disappearance of US troops there has naturally raised concerns.

However, this is not the first time that an accident has occurred in this military exercise. In 2012, 2 US soldiers died in a helicopter crash during a military exercise in Morocco. Although this incident did not happen, the concern about the disappearance of soldiers is increasing.
