Interesting factiod of the moment:
In Djibouti a new Air Force base was built in order to support multinational efforts against piracy. The owning nation is basing aircraft there to provide air support to the efforts, and has even based troops to provide security. The thing that makes it notable?
The fact that the flag flying over the base is white with a red meatball in the centre.
First time since the end of WW2 the Japanese military has been based outside the home islands.
