Photo: Sgt. Tatum Vayavanaanda/U.S. Africom A stepped-up role for the American military, which has been the subject of widespread discussion and debate since the establishment of the U.S. Africa Command (Africom) in 2008, has been getting more U.S. press attention in recent weeks.
"The U.S. military is expanding its secret intelligence operations across Africa," the Washington Post's Craig Whitlock reported last month in the first of a series of ground-breaking articles. Whitlock described "a network of small air bases to spy on terrorist hideouts from the fringes of the Sahara to jungle terrain along the equator, according to documents and people involved in the project." Some State Department officials have "reservations about the militarisation of U.S. foreign policy on the continent," Craig reported, fearing the "potential for creating a popular backlash."
"Keep your eye on Africa" journalist Nick Turse writes in an investigative examination called America's Shadow Wars in Africa posted this week on the blog TomDispatch.com and cross-posted on Huffington Post. "The U.S. military is going to make news there for years to come."
A 43-page report last year by the Congressional Research Service concluded that Africom's rising profile and large budget could lead Congress to "exert its oversight authority to monitor the command's operations to ensure that they support, rather than guide, U.S. political, economic, and social objectives for the continent."
The Africom commander, Gen. Carter F. Ham, describes the command's reach in much more modest terms. The United States is not planning "a large, permanent military presence in the continent of Africa," he said in a lengthy presentation on June 26 to a two-week seminar for senior African security-sector experts. Instead, he said, there is and will continue to be a "small, temporary presence of U.S. military personnel" in various parts of Africa, as needed to meet contingencies.
Also last month in an AllAfrica interview with Reed Kramer, Ambassador Anthony Holmes, the deputy Africom commander for civilian-military activities, outlined what he describes as a 'concerted' American effort to strengthen the capacity of African militaries to handle their own security, using a 'by, with and through' approach'. Excerpts:
There is a perception that the U.S. military is playing an increasingly larger role in Africa. Is that the case?
There has been a small but steady and fairly consistent increase in the U.S. military's engagement in Africa since the command was formalized on the first of October 2008. It's taken time to organize things, put in place the infrastructure and personnel. But also with the withdrawal from Iraq - and now the beginning of the end in Afghanistan - there are more people and resources available and we have a better sense of how we want to employ those resources in Africa to pursue U.S. security interests through strengthening African capacity to provide for their own security over time.
Is the principal mission to combat terrorism?
There is virtually no direct fighting of terrorists. Due to the unfortunate realities in Africa, there is concerted effort to work with African militaries and governments to enable them to confront terrorists and terrorism and to allow us to protect U.S. national security interest through expanding the capacity of African militaries to deal with their own terrorism problems directly themselves.
By and large our approach is what we call 'by, with and through' - developing partnerships for extended periods of time to develop the capacity in African militaries to deal with the problems themselves, so we don't have to do it. Fundamentally, the underlying credo of the Africa command is that it's in our direct national security interests to develop the capacity for Africans to provide for their own security on a sustainable basis.
And that's done through a combination of approaches?
Well, it's done through what we call 'sustained engagement,' and this is a very long-term undertaking. There really are no short cuts. It requires political will. It requires resources, and, first and foremost, it requires time. This can't be done overnight. Essentially what we are doing is building institutions at the national level, at the sub-regional level and at the continental level.
So we work with the African Union, we work with the regional economic commissions to develop their peace and security architecture and to promote the cooperation of African countries among themselves. There are virtually no security issues in Africa that are conducive to solutions by one country alone. They almost always require regional approaches.
Terrorism is not limited to one country; terrorists move around. The underlying problems that generate terrorism are problems that extend beyond any border, and we try to foster communication and interdependency and joint approaches by African countries themselves.
One example would be the efforts aimed at Uganda's rebel movement, the Lord's Resistance Army, and its leader Joseph Kony?
That's an example. A better example would the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom), involving Uganda, Burundi and now Djibouti and Kenya and Sierra Leone - underwritten by the United States and the United Kingdom and the European Union under a UN Security Council mandate.
It's truly an international effort, but the African nations - particularly those five - are bearing the brunt of the burden and paying a pretty steep price for doing that as well. This is not 'peacekeeping without cost'. Burundi and Uganda have lost hundreds of peacekeepers in this effort. That shows that they take it very seriously -- and it's hardly known in the United States.
What is the Africom role in Amison?
Africom forms part of a broader U.S. government effort to train and equip these nations to go into Somalia and survive, to defend the transitional government, which we hope will become a federal government - without the "transitional" moniker later this summer - so that they can work to develop the government institutions necessary to run a modern society that has the confidence of its people, that is legitimate, that is democratically elected, and can go about the long term effort to provide for the better standard of living, a better life for the Somali people.
What about Africom in Northwest Africa?
That's a problem area that has gotten significantly worse during my three years at Africom. Three years ago, the problem was largely limited to several hundred Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) terrorists in isolated in the north of Mali. Then they happened upon a fairly effective business model of kidnap-for-ransom and so became very well financed. They have used that finance to sink their roots into indigenous societies in the Sahel.
More recently, two events have made this a far more dangerous problem than it had been previously. The first is AQIM and its very concerted efforts to influence Boko Haram, an organic indigenous Islamic organization in northern Nigeria that has adopted many of AQIM's tactics - bombings and attacks on civilians - to make them a very serious and dangerous threat to the Nigerian government.
Second is the fallout from the fall of Qaddafi in Libya and the return to northern Mali, in particular, of many Tuareg who had been employed in the Libyan military and by the Libyan government. They have returned to northern Mali extremely well-armed over the course of the past year.
This has contributed to a revival of historical grievances against the government of Mali and led to a splitting up of the country, which precipitated a coup by the Mali military in the capital Bamako.
You now have a fractured country and a situation in the North in which Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb is able to operate very freely and openly. This gives the group a chance to seriously recruit and grow, to sink deeper roots and to operate more freely. It's more dangerous to us but also to the Africans themselves.
Is there a risk that increased U.S. military presence in Africa could worsen rather than improve the security situation?
Al Shabaab in Somalia and AQIM in northern Mali have been plotting against the United States, against Americans and more broadly against Western interests. That's not new. And the situation in those countries is dangerous not only to American but also Western interests. At the same time, we have interests identical to those of the nations of the region.
We are in Africa to protect American interests. That is why the American taxpayer pays for the U.S. Africa Command. After considerable analysis and study, we have concluded that the best way for us to protect American security interests in Africa is to assist the Africans in developing the capacity to provide for their own security.

I PRAY THAT AFRICAN UNION LEADERS COME TO A CONCENSUS THAT THE INCREASED PREESSENSE OF USA TROOPS HAS DONE NONE OTHER BUT INCREASE THE THREAT OF MORE VIOLENCE ON THE CONTINENT. WE SEE HOW THEY DEAL WITH THIER INETEREST, LIBYA. THERE WAS 26,000 SORTIES FLOWN OVER LIBYA. LET US GET THIS STARIGHT LIBYA PER CAPITA WAS THE WEALTHIEST STATE IN ALL AFRICA. ARE WE CLEAR ON THIS FINACIAL STATEMENT? , SO PER DENSITY OF POPULATION WE HAD OVERKILL. THEY CLAIM TO HAVE ONLY STRUCK MILITARY TARGETS, IF WE ARE DUNCE ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT THEN ALL OF LIBYA MUST HAVE BEEN A MILITARY TARGET . WE KNOW FOR A FACT THEY BOMBED BLACK INDEGENIOUS CCOMMUNITIES SUPPORTING THE RACIAL GEENOCIDE THAT TOOK PLACE NOT OUT SCORING THE ETHNIC CLEANSING AND MASSACRES TO GAIN SUPPORT BY THE UN FOR RESOLUTION 73. LIBYA EMBARKED UPON A WESTERN POLICY OF RACIALISM AND BIGGOTRY. WE ARE SO DUPED BY WESTERN EDUCATION THAT WE DO NOT RECOGNISE THAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE ALSO ARABIC AND THE FACT REMAINS THAT ARABIC IS A AFRICAN AS SWAHILI. IT MATTERS NOT THAT WE SEE LIGHER SKINNED PEOPLE SPEAKING ARABICWHAT THE FRENCH AND ENGLISG DID WAS TO INSTIGATE A RACIST DIVIDE WHEN THEY STARTED THIER HEGMONIC RULE DURING THIER IMPERIALIST CONQUEST OF THE ENTIRE REGION. WHAT WE MUST ALSO NOT CEASE TO FORGET IS THAT IT WAS THE WHITE EUROPEAN ARBIC SPEAKING SO CALLED ARABS WHO INSTIGATED THE SLAVE TRADE IN AFRICA. AFTER THE INQUISITIONS IN EUROPE THEY EXPELLED ALL WHITE MUSLIMS FORCING EVERY PERSON OF COLOUR TO EITHER TURN TO CATHOLICISM OR GO TO AFR4ICA. WE HAD AN INFLUX OF WHITE EUROPEANS IN THIER MILLION SETTLING IN THE MID EAST AND NORTH AFRICA. WHAT THEN HAPPENED WAS THE ASSIMILATION OF HE POPULATIONS OF INDEGENOUS AFRICANS INTO THESE AFRICAN COUNTRIES. WE SAW DURING THE IMPERIAL RIEGN OF TERRORIN AFRICA THEY USED COLOUR TO DIVIDE GIVING THE WHITES THE UPPER HAND THEN USING ARABIC TO MAKE THOSE A MORE SUPERIROR ON THE CONTINENT. SO WE EVEN HAD BLACK AS NIGHT PEOPLE THINKIUNG THEY WERE NOT BLACK BECAUSE THEY SPOKE ARABIC EVEN THOUGH MORE BLACK PEOPLE SPEAK ARABIC THAN ANYONE ELSE. WHAT WE HAVE ALSO BEEN LEFT WITH IS THE IDEA THAT BLACKS WHO SPEAK ARBIC ARE FROM ELSE WHERE THEY CAME AND CONQUORED AND ALOT OF FALACIES. WE HAVE MIXED RACE PEOPLE THINKING THEY ARE WHITEAND ARE USING THIS WHITE IDEOLOGY TO SPEARHEAD HATE CRIMES AS THEY DID IN LIBYA. WHAT BWE SAW IN LIBYA WAS FORTELLING WHAT WE WILL CONTINUE TOSEE IN AFRICA WITH MORE AND MORE CONFLICTS OF PEOPLES USING RELIGION AS MOTIVES. THE WEST DISGUST ME WITH THIER PROTECTION OF AMERICAN INTERST WHAT GREAT INTEREST DO THEY HAVE IN AFRICA NONE AT ALL,OTHER THAN TRYING TO STEAL OIR RESOURCES USEING BACKDOOR FRAUD STEALTH AND BULLYISM FORCING THIER WAR MACHINE ON AFRICANS. PRVENTING THE RISE AND UNIFIFCATION OF THE AFRICAN PEOPLE STYMIING THIER GROWTH DENYING THE NEED FOR M,ONEY TO BE USED CONSTRUCTIVELY DIVERTING FUNMDS TOR WAR AND CONFLICT. IMPEDEING THE TREK THAT WAS EBIUNG TAKEN BY THE PEOPLE FOR REONCILLIATION PEACE ETC. THEY HAVE COME IN WITH THIER CONFUSION TALKING ABOUT THE ICC AND JUSTICE SPENDING ALL THE SE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR WATSED JOURNEYS INTO THIER WORLD OF GOING NO HWERE. THEY HAVE ALREADY AMASSED A FORTUNES BEYOND RECOGNITION THEY HAVE DONE THIS WITH CRIMINALIY AND DREAD; THEY HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN OR LOSE BY INTERFERING IN PEOPLES LIVES DESTROYING THE EQUILIBRIUM THE BALQANCE WE SOUGHT IN AFRICA. WHY LEADERS DECIDED TO SEE THIER SOULD TO SUCH A FOOLISH PEOPLE IS BEYOND ME. AFRICA WAS ON THE RIGHT COURTSE SINCE THE WEST CAME IN THEY HAVE STRENGTHED THIER PRESSENSE ON THE CONTINENT THE THEY AND THE FRENCH THEY ARE NOW MILITARISING THE UNITED NATIONS AGAIN IN CONGO. ALL THESE THINSG ARE THE SAME MILITARY UNDER THE SAME COMMAND THE US. THE US PAYS THE SALARY AT THE UN THEY PAY FOR NATO THEY PAY THE AU SOLDIERS THEY ARE LOOTING THE EARTHS GOVERNMENTS TO PAY FOR THE HEGEMONIC IDEALS OF THE UNITED STATES. AFRICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP THEY ARE GETTING AFRICAN LEADERS TO GO AAGAINST EACH OTHER WE SAW THIS WHEN THEY PAID JOYCE BANDA TO STIR RIGHT BEFORE THE AU SUMMIT. WE SEE THE TREMENDOUS AMMOUNTS OF AMERICAN PRESSENSE ALL IN FRANCOFONE STATES THIS INOT HAVING A GO AT THEM WE EVEN HEAR TALK OF FRANCE SENDING FRENCH TROOPS INTO MALI. WHILE YOU ARE DEBATING THEY ARTE MAKING AFRICANS LOOK LIKE THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE NOR HAVE ANY IDEAS OF WHAT TO DO ,WHILE THEY MAKE MILITARY PLANS TO INVADE. WE NEED TO SEEK CONCENCUS FROM ALL THE LEADERS ABOUT ALLOWING ANY TROOPS AIR BASES OR ANY THING LOOKING LIKE IMPERIALSIM. THEY ARE USEING THIER BRTAINS ON AFRICANS CONSTANTLY TAKING YOU FOR THE FOOL. THEY USE THE ICC SO THEY CAN PLAY POLICE ALL OF A SUDDEN TH USA CONGRESS IS SENDING TROOPS INTO AFRICA ? WHAT DO THEY THINK THIS A FREE FOR ALL ? THAT WE ARE NOT A SOVERIEGN CONTINENT? HOW IS CONGRESS MAKING LAWS TO SEND TROOPS INTO AFRICA DID THEY ASK THE AFRICAN PEOPLE ?? WE ARE NOT A PART OF EUROPE NOR AMERICA . THESE THINGS THE AFRICAN LEADERS ARE NOT DEFINING. IT IS TIME TO MENTIUON YOUR SOVEREIGNITY THAT THIS IS SACRED TO ALL AFRICANS AND WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY FROM OF IMPERIALISM OR COLONIALIST RULE BY PROXY OR BY ANY MILITARY LEADERS. THEY ARE TRYING TO SET UP DICTATORS IN AFRICA AGAIN. THIS COMMING INTO AFRICA TO TRAIN TROOPS THIS IS ALL ABOUT DICTAOTRSHIP AGAIN. WE THE AFRICAN PEOPLE MST BEWARE OF TOO MUCH MILITARISM WE NEED ROADS RAIL ROAADS EDUCATION TECHNICAL TECHONOLOGY WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR PROFESSIONALISM NOT MORE MILITARY AND SECURITY. WE NEED TO INDIGENISE ALL OUR OIL; WELLS OUR GAS PORTS OUR MINES THESE WILL PREVENT THEM FROM THIS FEEBLO EXCUSE. THEY WANT US TO BELIVE THAT WE MUST SCARIFICE OUR CHILDREN OUR ELDERLY OUR FUTURE FOR THE INTEREST OF AMERICAN LIVES. THEY SPEAK AS IF LIVES WHETHER AMERICAN OR AFRICAN IS ALL DIFFERNT LIFE AND THEY ARE NOT ALL SACRED TO THE ONE GOD THAT CREATED ALL THINGS. THEY SEEM TO WANT THE ENTIRE EARTH TO SWALLOW THIS SECURITY CONSCIOUS TALK , THEY ARE MAKING THE WORLD RESPONSIBLE FOR AMERICAN LIVES WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT ???WHAT THEY HAVE GOING ON IS A FRAUD WITH ALL THE OTHER FRAUDS THEY AHVE GOING, THE FINANCIAL FRAUDS WHICH IS DONE DAILY WITH MANIPULATION BOTH FROM THE GOVERNMENTS AND BANKERS IN THE WEST SINCE THIER ENTRY INTO AFRICA WITH THIS SECURITY TALK WE HAVE SEEN ESCALATION OF VIOLENCE IN EVERY REGION OF AFRICA. THEY HAVE SPEARHEADED THE LIBYAN REVOLT USING THIS AS A MODEL WE NOW SEE THE ENTRY INTO SYRIA. WE ARE NOT DUNCE PEOPLE CONTRARY TO WHAT THEY THINK. THE SAME RATIONALE WE HEARD IN LIBYA WE HEAR NOW, WE SEE OUTSIDERS CALLING THE SHOTS FOR THE SO CALLED OPPOSSITION WE SEE THE SAME TYPES OF MASSACRES GOING ON BLAMING THE REGIME ; THEY THEN HAVE THIS OPTION OF DECLARING WHO IS LEGIT OR NOT. HOW CAN YOU DECIDE A LEGIT GOVERNMENT SOVERIEGN IN NAME IS NO LONGER LEGIT BECAUSE YOU SAY SO. THEY ARE USESING ETHNICITIES TO INCITE SALL SORTS OF ATTRICITIES AND SCHISMS TO INFLATE THE VIOLENCE DAILY. THEY HAVE A FEW STATES OF DICTATORS WHOM ARE THIER ARDENT SUPPORTERS ;WHO BUYS THE MOST WEAPONS SPENDS THE MOST MONEY FINANCING RELIGIOUS TERRORISM .THEY ALOS PARTICIPATE IN BUYING THIER AUTOMOBILES FREQUENTING THIER GAMBLING HOUSES DRINKING THIER ALCOHOL AND SUPPORTING THIER WHORE HOUSES BOTH FOR MEN AND WOMEN THESE ARE WHO PRETEND TO BE MUSLIMS BUT ARE ONLY CHEAP DICTATORS WHO IS BUYING PROTECTION FROM THE WEST. WHO ARE THESE SO CALLED KINGS ,WHO GAVE THEM THESE TITLES?? WHITE ANGLO SAXON REGIMES. WE HAVE THESE ARCH CRIMINALS THESE BARBARIANS DESCENDANTS OF THOSE WHO HAVE LOOTED STOLEN WORLD POWER THRU MAS MURDERS GENOCIDE MASSACRES SLAVERY PILLAGING PLUNDER RAPE KIDNAPPINGS CHILD MOLESTATION HOMOSEXUALITY FORCING THEMSELVES SEXUALLY UPON A PEOPLE WHO DID NOT PRACTICE THESE THINGS. SEXING MEN WOMEN CHILDREN AT WILL WITH IMPUNITY, THIS WAS WHAT SLAVERY WAS ABOUT .THESE THINGS THEY COVER UP ,RAPE WITH IMPUNITY ,MURDERE WITH IMPUNITY(DRONE STRIKES MURDERING INNOCENTDAILY) THIS IS WHO THEY ARE THEY HAVE NOT CHANGED THEY JUST CHANGED THE METHOD. THEY CONTIUE TO COMMITT EVERY SINGLE CONCIEVEABLE HIENOUS AND DIABOLICAL ATTROCITIES KNOWN TO MAN . THESE ARE THE TOOLS WHAT THEY HAVE USED TO ASCEND TO WHERE THEY ARE TODAY. THEY NOW WANT US TO BELIEVE THEY ARE A RIGHTEOUSS AND NOBLE PEOPLEAND MORALLY UPRIGHT PEOPLE. PLEASE DO NOT BUY UNTO THIS!!!!!! THEY HAVE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE GLOBE CALLING ITSELF 'HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH THESE ARE NONE OTHER THAN TOOOLS OF ESPIONAGE DESTROYING CULTURES UNDERMINING SOVEREIGNTY AND RAPINMG COUNTRIES OF THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES. THEY HAVE UNIVERSISTIES GRADUATING THIEVED FRAUDSTERS PLAGIARIST KILLERS PLUNDERERS PILLAGERS, HAT DOES IT TAKE FOR AFRICANS TO SEE WHAT THYEY ARE TRYING TO DO IN AFRICA THEY WANT TO RUEK THE WORLD THEY ARE SEEKING TO KEEP DISCONTENT IN AFRICA PREVENTING IT UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES TO STOP FROM UNITING. THIS IS THIER GOLAS. THEY MURDERED GADAFFI STRICTLY ON THAT PRINCIPLE. THEY TOPPLED HIS REGIME REMEBER THE HIGHEST PER CAPITA INCOME IN ALL AFRICA LET US RMEBER SOUTH AFRICA AS A NATION WITH RESOURCES BUT NONE WAS ABLETO OUT D GADAFFI ON NE TEACHNOLOY AND THE ECONOMICS OF HIS GOVERNMENT. I HEAR PEOPLE SPEAKING ABOUT GADAFFIAS IF HE DID NOT CONSTRUCTONE OF THE EARTHS MARVELS WITH ITS RESOVOIUR SYSTEM WHICH HAS LED THE LIBYANS TO BE SELF SUFFICIENT. HOW CAN AN INDEPENMDENT OUNTRY GO FROM SELF SUFFICIENT TO DEPENDENT AND THEY DID SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB IN ELEVATING THE PEOPLE. THERE WAS A KING BEFORE GADAFFGI WHOWAS THE MOST CORRUPT OF ALL KINGS ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET SO HOW CNA WE ASPIRE TO GO BACK IN TIME AS THESE WERE THE WORDS OF THE LOYALIST WHO SPEARHEADED THE LIBAYN REVOLUTION. THE LIBAYN REVOLUTION WAS BIG FAILURE BY INTELLIGENT PEOPES STANDARDS. HOW CAN WE HAVE DICTATRS DICTATNG DEMOCRATIC BVALUES?? WELL THIS IS WHAT THE USA AND THIER ALLIES ARE HAVING US BELIEVE!!!! SYRIA IS MIMICKING LBYA, OUTSIDE NTC WHO IS EBING RECOGNISED BY THE WEST AGAIN WE SEE THE GOVERNMENT WITHOUT DUE PROCESS HOW CAN THEY BE LEGALY RECOGNISED WHEN THE SYRIAN PEOPLE HAVE NOT MET THEM OR HEARD THIER ALTERNATIVE PLANS FOR GOVERNMENT?? YOU CANT JUST OVERTHROW A GOVERNMENT ON AMERICAN SAY SO!!!!! HOW DOES THAT WORK?? EVEN IF WE WEE TO BUY INTO THAT; HOW COULD WE WHEN THIER ALLIES ARE ALL AUTOCRATIC REGIMES WITH NO SEMBLACNE OF DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES??THEN WE MUST CONCLUDE THAT THJIS IS A FARCE AND ONLY GEARED IN THE INETERST OF THOSE WHO ARE SUP[PORTING TEH SO CALLED NTC. WHEN IT COMES TO MASSACRES WE SAW THAT IN LIBYA ALL DONE AND ENGINEERED BY THE WEST AND THIER MERCENARY THUGD. REMEMBER TYHE GENOCIDE THAT TOOK PLACE WITH HEAVY BOMS WHICH WE WEE TOLD WAS THE GADAFFI REGIME WHEN WE LATER HAD A CLOSER LOKK IT TURNED OUT TO BE A WESTERN BOMBARDMENT WITH USA CLUSTER BOMBS ; PROVED WITHOUT QUESTION BY HRW AND AND OTHER AT THE TIME IMPARTIAL ORGANISATIONS. WHAT WE SEE ALSO WITH A THE USA AND THIER ALLIES IS THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE SIDES FOR A BIG WORLD LEADER LIKE THE WEST WHERE IS THIS IDEOLOGY COMMING FROM CHOOSING SIDES SUPPORTING SIDES COMPELLING THE COLLAPSE OF LEGAL REGIMES. AFRICAN LEADERS ARE VERY NUMB WHEN IT CAME TO AFRICA AND IVORY COAST WE SAW WAR CRIMES PERPETRATED BY SARCOZY AND THE WEST ISN THE FORM OF WHEN THE PEIOPLE DID NOT REACT TRO GOING ON THE STREEETS TO SUPPORT QUATTARA THEY WERE IMMEDIATELY SANCTIONED , THEY WERE IMMEDIATELY FORCED INTO POVERTY WITH NO WAGES BEING SUPPLIED BY A THE CENTRAL BANK CONTROLED BY THE FRENCH IN AFRICA. AFTER THIS THEY BROUGHT IN MORE UN TROOPS AND FRENCH TROOPS READY TO DO BATTLE WHICH THEY DID. AFRICA WAS HOODWINKED INTO BELIVEING THAT A AFRICAN LEADER AN DTHIER ELECTED PARL;IAMENT CAN NTO REJECT A FRAUDULENT ELECTION?? WITH AFRICAN COMPLICITY THEY ALLOWED COTE d' IVOIRE TO FALL DECADES BACKWARDS. THEY HAVE LEFT REFUGEEES IN THIER MILLION ISOLATED FROM THIER NATION. WE SAW THE FIRTS USE OF AIREAL BOMBRADMENT TO MOMB A NATION INTO SUBMISSSION. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE LIBAYN CHILDREN AND PEOPLE WHO WERE BOMBARDED INTO TOTAL SYBMISSSION26,00 SORTIES FLIED WITH USE OF HEAVY ORDINANCE COME ON AFRICA!!!! WAKE UP? THE USA IS SUPPLYING MILITANTSWITH HEAVY WEAPONS WHO HAVE NO SCRUPLES ABOUT MUTILATING AND MURDERING WITH IMPUNITY TO ACHIEVE COUNTER PROGRESSIVE INTIATIVES TAKEN BY PROGERSSIVE STATES IN THE REGION. AFRICA HAS CONFLICT EVERYWHERE SINCE THE UGANDANS AND WEST FRANCO STATE AFRICANS RELINQUISHED THIER SOVEREIGNTY TO AMERICAS CIA. CENTRAL AFRICA NO LONGER HAS THE FRAUDULENT KONY AGENDA WE NOW SEE THE UN TAKING UP ARMS OSTENSIBLY TO P[ROTEC THE GOMANS. WE HEAR ONE PERSON SUPPORTING THIS WHEN THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF MILLION OF PEOPLES. THE WEST WANTS TO TAKE CONTROL OF THESE MINERAL RICHAREAS UNLESS THE AFRICAN UNION DECIDES TOGETHER WHAT SHOULD BECOEM PROTOCOL IN INVITING ANY PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS INTO AFRICA WHAT THIER OBLIGATIONS ARE AND HOW MUCH TIME THEY HAVE THERE CAN NOT BE TRHESE 99 YEAR LEASES THOSE TYPES OF INVESTMENST ARE NOTHING LESS THAN SLAVERY TOKENISMS. WE WANT RATHER ON COMPLICITY FOF SECURING YOUR OBLIGATIONS THEN WE AFTRE 5 YEARS WILL CONSIDER TO RENEW THE CONTRACTS. OTHER WIZE WHAT WE WILL SEE IS THSE PEOPLE COMMING INTO AFRICA STALLING RWEAPING TRILLIONJS OF DOLLARS FRAUDING THIER INVESTORS USING YOU THE AFRICAN AS BATE WHILE THEY PILLAGE AS THEY ARE NOW OING GLOBALLY. ALL BANKING AND MARKETS ARE CONNECTED WHY DO YOU THINK THE INDEGENIOUS PRCES OF FOOD IN EAST AFRICA SPIKED RECENTLY WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR FOOD STUFFS THEY MANIPULATED MARKEST SO EVERYTHING SPIKED WAY ABOVE THE NORM. WHAT AGDAFFI HAD SUGGESTED TO AFRICANS WAS THO SHY AWAY FROMTHIS COUNTERFIET IMMORAL FRAUDULENT CORRUPT SYSTEM YET YOU THE NEW LEADERS HAVE SO BECOME BRAINWAHSE BY THE WEST THAT YOU CONTINUE TO EMBRACE CORRUPTION UNDERMINING YOUR OWN GOVERNMENST AND THE WELFARE OF THE AFRICAN PEOPLE. THERE ARE OVER ONE BILLION PEOPLE THE PEOPLE WQONT ALLOW YO TO CONTINUE WITH THESE ABSTRACT AND CORRUPT WAYS. THERE IS NO WAY THAT IF YOU ARE IN BED WITH THE WEST THEN YOU ARE ENGAGEINGT IN CORRUPT IDEAS. THIS IS A FACT!!!!THE WEST AND THIER FINACIAL INSTITUTIONS ARE RIGGED WITH CONSPIRACIES TO MANUFACTURE FRAUD, THE MARKETS ARE RIGGED DAILY THEY ARE SO DEEP INTO IT THAT THIS IS NOW CXNSIDEWRED A WAY OF WESTERN LIFE. THEY ADMIT THAT SHOULD WESTERN GOVERNMENTS STOP THE FGRAUD THS WOULD END THE LIFESTYLES OF WESTERN GOVERNMENST AS THEY KNOW IT. THERE IS NOT MUCH YOU THE AFRICAN THE RUSSWIAN CAN DO TO SAVE THE WEST FROM THIER DISASTER. WE THE AFRICAN KNOW FROM ANTIQUITY THAT WHENEVER A NATION EMBARKS UPON THIS CORRUPTIVE LIFESTYLE THE CORROSION EATS AWAY THE FABRIC OF THE NATION; THIS IMPLOSION CAN NOT BE STOPPED ;IT IS LIKE A NUCLEAR CORROSION FROM WITHIN." CORRUPTION IS THE DEATH OF A NATION " THESE THINSG HAVE BEEN TRIED AND PROVEN THIS IS NOT A THEORY THIS IS A KNOWN FACT " WHY DO YOU THINK CORRUPTION WAS SO FROWNED UPON WHY DO YOU THINK THAT THE WEST IS SO ADAMANT ABOUT SHARIA LAWS"?? THEY KNOW 1. IT IS WRITTEN AND IT FOLLOWS GUIDELINES. 2THE DICIPLINES ARE RIGHTEOUSS3 IT STRONGLY ADVOCATES HONESTY WITH PENALTIES FOR THOSE THAT DO NOT. THE WEST CLEARLY KNOWS THAT WHAT THEY PARCTICE IS WRONG WHAT THEY ADVOCATE IS HYPOCRTICAL. WE SEE EVEN TODAY THE UK GOVERNMENT WAS OSTRACISE ABOUT THIS GAY MARRIAGE BUSINESS IT IS NOW COMPLETLY FROWNED UPON BY THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND THE VATICAN YET WE HEAR CERTAIN AFRICAN COUNTRIES STILL CLAMOURING TO PROVE THEY ARE LOYAL SLAVES. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD WHAT THEY CALL IN THE STATES THE " HOUSE NIGGER AND THE PLANTATION NIGGER" BIG DIFFERNCE BETWEEN THE TWO THE HOUSE NIGGER WAS ALWAYS WANTING TO BE THE GOOD NIGGER PROVING EVERY WAY HE COULD HOW MUCH HE ENJOYED HIS SERVFITUDE AND HOW MUCH HE HATED HIMSELF ;SO MUCH SO , THAT AT THE DETRIMENT OF OTHERS HE WOULD CONTRIUALLY FOIL ESCAPES SABATOGE AND REBELLION. THESE HOUSE NIGGERS WERE GRANTED A LIMITED AUTONOMY THEY WERE LOYAL SLAVES REDAY TO DIE AT THE SIDES OF THESE BARBRAINS. HERE WE HAVE IN HSITORY ONE OF THE MOSDT DIABOLICAL OF ALL TIME WHEN THE CHILDREN OF THE "ALL MIGHTY GOD" WERE FORCED INTO BONDAGE LATER TO BE RENAMED SLAVERY HWERE HEY WERE FORCED UNDER THREAT OF LOST OF LIMB LIFE TORTURE TO WORK FOR THESE CRIMINALS WHOP WANT THINGS THE EASY WAY THEY WERE NOT PREPARED TO WORK FOR THIER SHARE IN LIFE. THEY TORTURES MURDERD IN UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS NEVER EVR TO BE SEEON THIS PLANET. THEY MURDERED IN THIER HUDRED OF MILLIONS THEY DECIMATED A WHOLE CONTINENT WIPING AWAY ITS CIVILIZATION REWRTING HISTORYU DEFRAUDING PLAGIARISNG WORKS OF TRUTH AND SCHOLLARY MASTERY. NOT ONLY WERE WE DEFRAUDED THEY CONTINUE TO STEAL RAPE SELL US AS THEY SEE NFIT THEY STILL BUIY AFRICANS TODAY PUTTING APRICE ON INTEGRITY HONESTY NOBILITY. THESE THYINSG THEY STLE FROM AFRICA BUT IT HAS DEON THEM NO GOOD THEY GO UNIVERSITIES TODAY TO LEARN HOW TO EMULATE THIER ANCESTORS BY MRAUDING IN TIER POSSITIONS AS BANKSTAS' FINACIAL MARKETERS AND LEGAL GOVERNMENTS. WHAT WE ARE BEING EXPOSED TO TODAY IN AFRICA IS A PUSH BY THE WEST TO ENTER AFRICA USING ALL HE CONFUION THEY ARE CREATING, THEY ARE SUING THIER ALLIES THE MOSSAD THE MURDEROUS REGIME WH CONTIUE TO EMULATER THE GESTAPO FROM WHOSE PARENTAGE THEY DERIVED. MOST OF ORU AFRICAN BROTHERS ARE NOT ADDEPT AT WORLD HISTORY AND THE EDUCATION YOU HAVE ASSERTAINED IS LIMITED . THSE WAR CRIMINALS AND PEOPLE OF MASS ENDANGER TO HUMANITY HAS BEEN USING ALL TYPES OF TOOLS TO DECIEVE THE AFRICAN PEOPLE IN PARTICULAR. CERTAINLY YOU SHOULD QUESTION THIS??? WHY DO THEY WNAT YOU TO BECOME HOMOSEXUALS WHY ARE THEY SO INSISTANT THAT YOU BUY THIER CIAGARETTES AND ALCOHOL? WHY DO THEY AVE SUCH LOW DIEALS ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE? THEY HAVE INFECTED AFRICANS WITH LABARATORICAL METHODS OF A.I.D.S. EPIDEMICE EBOLI AND MANY MORE DISEASES THAT STRUCK AFRICA IN THE80S AND 90S. THESE INFECTIONS WERE BIOLOGIVCAL WAR FARE THAT THEY INSTITUTED AGAINST THE AFRICAN PEOPLE. DO NOT BE FOOLED INTO THINKING THAT THEY WERE YOUR SAVIOURS THE WILL OF "ALL MIGHTY GOD" WAS ONE AND THE STUBSTANTIAL GENETIC KAEUP THAT THE BLACK AFRICN HAS BEEN ENGINEERED WITH. YOUR GENES ARE THE WORLDS HEALTHIEST THIS WAS WHY THEY HAVE HAD TYO MANUFAVTURE DISEASES IN THIER LABS IN ORDER TO TACKLE YOU. THEY HAVE OVER THE CENTURIES INVADED YOUR PERSONAL SPACE INFECTING OVER THE CENTURIES WITH DIFFERNT DISEASES WHICH HAVE SOME WHAT LIMITED YOUR DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS IN COMABTTING THESE MENACIES. M,AKE NO ,ISTAKE THIS THE EARTHS MOST DIABOLICAL PEOPLE. THEY PURSUE VINDICTIVE AND DEVIOUS WAYS TO FORCE PEOPLE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT. THIS IS WHY TODAY THEY REALISE THAT YOUR GENTIC MAKEUP CAN BE ISOLOATED AS THEY WANTED TO DO. LOOK AR AMERICA THEY BROUGHT THEM SMALL POX AND WIPED OUT HALF OF THE AMERICAN INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN THE NORTH. WHEN THEY MOVED WESTWARD THEY USED ALCOHOL RIFLESAND GENOCIDE TO WQRESTLE CNTROL OF THE AMERICAN CONTINENT. THEN THEY FORCED THE AFRICANS TO WORK THE LANDS FOR THEM. WE EVEN HAD TO TEACH THEM HOW TO BECOEM GREAT AGRICULTURALISTAS THISWAS PROMINENT IN ALL AFRICA EVERY SINLGE REGION OF AFRICAN CULTURE WAS BASED ON AGRICULTURE. WE MUST NOT MAKE ANY MISTAKE AS TO WHOM WE ARE DEALINMG WITH THEY ARE STILL THE SAME RAIDERS BARBARIANS THEY STEAL LOOT PILLAGE PLUNDER RAPE THEY USE MORE SOPHSITIATED WAYS TO DO THINSG THEY FORCE FALSE LAWS THAT ARE NON VIRTUOUS WHICH DEFIES ALL OURE CULTURAL UPBRINGINGS. THEY HAVE TOLD THE WROLD THAT THEY WERE OUR ONLY TEACHERS WHICH IS A GIANT LIE AND DECEPTION WE HAVE IN FACT BEEN THIER TEACHERS BUT THEY AHVE TAKEN WHAT WE HAD GIVEN TO THEM AND MISUSED IT FOR THIER NEFARIOUS PURPOSES.EVERY SINGLE NATION IN AFRICA EVERY ETHNICITITY FROM AFRICA HAS THE INBRED TEACHING OF THE SCRIPTURES THEY CALL THE HOLY BIBLE. THE HOLY BIBLE REFERS TO THE AFRICAN IE. CIRCUMCISISON EVRY SINGLE CULTURE IN AFRICA DOES IT THE WEST IS IN OPPOSSITN TO IT YET THE JEWS DO IT THE ISLAMIST DO IT AND THE RELIGIONS OF THE EARTH PRACTICE IT. AFRICA HAS DOMINATED THE EARTH WITH IT TEACHING FROM THE VERRY BEGINNING THIS IS WHY THEY DO NOT WANT US TO ACCUMALATE OUR KNOWLEDGE OF SELF. THIS WAS WHY THEY HAVE TRIED TO UNDERMINE OUR HUTORY DENYING US THE TRUTH ABOUT WHETER WE HAVBE WRITTEN HISTORY DENYING IS EGYPTS REVLATIONS THE TRUTH ABOUTEGYPT AND ROME DENYING US TRUTH AS TO WHOM THE ARABS WERE THE ARABS WERE BLACK AFRICAN PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT THIS GLORIOUS RELIGION TO THE ORLD. THE WEST HAS CORRUPTED ISLAM WITH THE TERRRIST ORGANISATIONS THEY TRAIN AND CONTIUE TO TRAIN SUPPLYING THEM WITH TONS OF WEAPONS BEING BOUGHT BY THIER GULF DUICTATOR TRAITOR FRIENDS. WE MUST STOP THE MOVEMNET OF THIER TROOPS IN AFRICA WE MUST NOT COMMITT TO DRONES STRIKES IT SI WICKED BARBARIC AND DEFIES INTERNATIONAL MORAL CODES. WE MUST RFEFRAIN FROM BEING COMLICIT IN PROXYWARS . SHOULD AFRICA NOT REFRAIN FROM THIER AMBIGUOUS RELATIONS WITH THE CIA AND THE ALPHABETIACL ORGANISATIONS THAT YOU ARE ALLYING YOURSELVES WITH ;; THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES . THE GREAT STRIDES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE BY AFRICANS INDEPENDENTLY OF THIER ASSISTANTS AS THIER ONLY HELP FOR AFRICASN ARE EXTORTIONARY LOANS THAT KEEP AFRICANS INDEBT AND BURDEN. WE MUST ALLY ON NEW FREINDS WE MUST NOT RELY ON ANY ONE EXCEPT OUR SELVES WE MUST DECLARE OUR DESIRE FOR NEUTRALITY THIS MUST BE DONE. IF WE ARE TO REALISE OUR PLACE IN HISTORY WE MUST RETURN TO BEING AN HONEST AND RIGHTEOUSS PEOPLE, THIS IS WHY THEY WANT US TO CONFORM AND BECOME LIKE THEM ;WE ARE THIER OPPOSSITS. WE CAN NOT TRED ALONG THE LINES THEY ARE TAKING OUR CONTINENT WE SAW LIBYA IVORY COAST NOW THEY TRYING SYRIA. THEY ARE CREATING NOTHING MORE THAN SECTARAIN ETHNIC CLEANSING. THIS WAS THE SAME IDENTICAL FOOTPRINT IN LIBYA COTE d'IVOIRE YOU CAN NOT BE BLIND TO THIS. THEY MADE AFRICANS COMPLICIT IN BOTH LIBYA AND COTE d' IVOIRE . WE STILL HAVE SOEM AFRICANS SPEAKING AS IF THE WEST WAS NRIGHT IN FORCING SANCTIONS ON IVORYCOAST BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT YEIELD THEN THEY BROUGHT IN MERCENARIES AND WAR PLANES TANKS TO FORCE THEM INTO SUBMISSSION EVRYONESAW THIS ON INTERNATIONAL TELEVISIONS. THE SCEANRIO WAS CLEAR THE DIALOGUE WSSD BULL CRAP. LIBYA WAS A TRULY INDEPENDENT NATION TRULY INDEPENDENT DEPENDENT ON NO OTHERS EXCEPT THEMSELVES . LIBYA WAS AN OBJECT OF ADMIRATION A NATION TO ASPIRE TO. THE WEST IN THIER HATE ENVY COVETIOUS NESS DESTROYED THIS EMBLEM EVEN IN LIBY SAYING TO SPEAK ABOUT GADAFFGI MEANS A DEATH SENTENCE. THESE ARE THE WESTES' TYPE OF DEMOCRACY WHAT IS IT CALLED DICTOCRACY?. MY PEOPLE THIS IS OUR LIVES THIS IS THE CONTINENT OF OVER ONE HUDRED BLLION AFRICANS AT HOME WORLD WIDE. THE STRNGTH OF OUR LEADERS IN THIS TIME IS APPROPRIATE TO THE SURVIVAL OF YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTER IN THE WEST THOSE WHO ARE ALSO LEADERS OF GOVERNMENTS. IT IS TIME THE AFRICANS TOOK UP THE FIGHT THE WESTERN DIASPOAR FROMTHE CARRIBEAN HAS BEEN AT THS STRUGGLE MORE FEROCIIOUSLY SO THAN OUR BLACK AMERICAN BROTHERS. WE HAVE GIVEN TO THEM GARVEY BROTHER MALCOLM AND EVENFARAKN TODAY WE HAVE BEEN THIER TO COMBAT THIS SCURGE THT HAS BEEN THE DEATH OF OUR PEOPLE. AFRICA MUST NTO AGAIN BECOME THE OBJECT OF WESTERN INETEREST WE MUST NOT ALLOW FOR THEM TO INSEERT THEMSELVES INTO OUR POLITICAL LIFE FORMS OR IT MEANS DESTRUCXTION CORRUPTION FORNICATION LOOSE MORALS AND NO DEVELOP0MENT. LOOK AT SOUTH SUDAN THEY AHVE HAD THSE BROTHERS FIGHTING AND STIFLEING THIER OWN GROWTH. THIS IS ALL AT THE BEHEST OF THIER FRIENDSHIP WITH THE WEST. THERE IS JSUT NO PROGHRESS.
