'US government not involved with confiscated drone'
THE US embassy in Namibia issued a response to media reports on the confiscation of a saildrone found in Namibian territorial waters near Lüderitz.
The embassy strongly refuted any claims that the US government is involved with, or has interfered with the confiscated drone.
“Any reports, articles, or social media postings that say otherwise are incorrect and based on groundless accusations.
"We call on all actors to stop the spread of misinformation and to seek the facts before sharing incorrect information,” the statement read.
It explained that, although the drone is made and operated by Saildrone, a private US company, the University of Gothenburg in Sweden contracted the drone for marine research purposes.
