Original Note:
The U.S. government does not report on all drone strikes in all countries, and several sources contradict the numbers quoted by the OP. Pres. Obama's rule on reporting civilian casualties was not in place between 2008-2015. https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/explainers/our-methodology https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2017-01-17/obamas-covert-drone-war-in-numbers-ten-times-more-strikes-than-bush Yemen (total strikes): http://newamerica.org/future-security/reports/americas-counterterrorism-wars/ Pakistan: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1nHZopMQpvDO1ETpMVP6ZJ22wk3fHRgB00sekIvqXB_c/pubhtml?gid=478247173&pli=1#
