Lt Ouma Laouali has
become the first female pilot to serve in Niger’s Armed Forces (Fan). The
28-year-old, who received pilot training in the US, will be flying the Cessna
aircraft (pictured below), two of which were handed over by the US to Niger in
a ceremony in the capital Niamey on Wednesday.

The aircraft and

the two countries, the US ambassador said at the ceremony.
