A campaign group in the UK, Drone Wars UK, has released a report saying almost 1,000 civilians have been killed and hundreds more injured in military drone attacks across Africa.
The group released the report this Monday saying the drone attacks are as a result of the proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles which has continued unchecked in Africa.
It says at least 50 separate deadly strikes by armed forces in Africa have been confirmed in at least six countries facing conflicts in Africa, including Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria, Mali, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia.
An official of the group, Cora Morris, cautioned that unless the international community moves rapidly towards developing and implementing a new control regime, there might be more examples of the killing of civilians from the use of armed drones in Africa
