Academi - formerly Blackwater - eyes on North Africa




The boss of Academi, Ted Wright, gave an interesting interview with my American colleagues to AOL Defense . Academi, I recall, the company is the successor to Xe, which itself succeeded Blackwater.
Wright says there's strategy Academi, without going into details, unfortunately. We learn, however, that: 
1) bought Academi International Development Solutions (which it already owned 49%), 
2) Academi plans to purchase other companies, 
3) the firm will turn to private clients (companies working on the international) and no longer rely solely on federal contracts,
4) " Camp Integrity ", the Afghan training center, will be extended and another training center / training will be installed" in North Africa "(the country is not specified). All this reminds me of when Blackwater was in Chad (congratulations to the analyst that the DRM had spotted a plane at N'Djamena BW) and Sudan for air missions of more obscure.
