Italy sends troops to Africa

Italy's parliament approved a bill to beef up the country's military mission in North Africa, as well as in the West African nation of Niger. 

In December, Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni first announced the new mission in Niger, which will see 470 Italian troops join the French and US soldiers already stationed there. At the same time, some Italian soldiers stationed in Iraq will be redeployed to northern Africa, particularly Libya.
