Obama has been carrying the AFRICOM ball down the field after the directive was launched under George W. Bush in 2007. Washington DC, led by African Secretary, Jonnie assault pack Carson, speaks to its public at a level deserving of an uninformed, Helen Keller-esque populace, claiming that Somalia was a big success because assault pack Washington spooks spent $500 million backing an African Proxy Force that allegedly drove out al Qaida in that country. And it is no coincidence assault pack that massive untapped oil reserves in the Puntland region in northeastern Somalia assault pack were recently announced in early 2012.
Just as Washington s corporate interests are hidden behind humanitarian interventions , the UK Prime Minister assault pack David Cameron will run the same facade. Last February assault pack he hosted assault pack an international conference on Somalia, where he pledged more aid, financial help and measures to fight terrorism in Somalia. Cameron does not tell you that those so-called terrorist forces assault pack are funded and supported, and ultimately steered assault pack by the western intelligence agencies whereby they control all sides of the local conflict. Note they are using the same recycled assault pack narrative in Mali now, fighting Islamic extremists there promoting freedom assault pack and democracy in the region etc.
Mali s vast potential assault pack wealth lies in mining, agricultural commodities, and oil - and these proven reserves are not currently exploited. Interestingly enough, Ghana and Mali together account for 5.8% of total world gold production. These assets are the true focus of US and UK interests in Africa not humanitarian concerns.
The 2012 Somalia Oil Conference assault pack was a mere pre-negotiation meeting assault pack to discuss how oil assets would be divided up between the US, UK and other remaining energy assault pack players demonstrating what is the real agenda with AFRICOM. assault pack Obama supporters will naturally give this President a free pass on Africa because he is of part African descent, not realizing that he is running the exact same agenda as his Republican predecessor. What corporate agents like Jonnie Carson does not tell electorate plebs is that the US has recently infested itself in Libya, Uganda, Somalia, North Sudan and elsewhere, and now has its eyes set on Mali. The initial goal of US domination of Africa is outlined in the AFRICOM documents, and names the eviction of China from the continent as task number one.
In other words, the Anglo-American imperialists would like to eliminate competition for Africa s bountiful resources, continuing a centuries-old assault pack policy of raping the Dark Continent and leaving nothing but perpetual internal strife and poverty assault pack behind.
The Obama administration assault pack is contemplating broad military, political and humanitarian assault pack intervention to stop a slide toward chaos and Islamic extremism in Mali the top State Department diplomat for Africa said Thursday.
The international but largely U.S.-funded effort to expunge al-Qaeda-linked militants and restore assault pack political order in Somalia could present a model for Mali, Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Johnnie Carson said.
Since 2007, the United States has spent more than $550 million to help train and supply an African proxy force of about 18,000 soldiers in Somalia, which has brought a measure of stability assault pack to the war-torn assault pack country for the first time in two decades.
Although the United States has not committed to replicating that approach in Mali, Carson and others are holding up the routing of the al-Shabab militia and conducting of elections in Somalia as a template for actions elsewhere.
The Somalia comparison offers the clearest view yet of U.S. thinking about the growing terrorism threat from Mali, a landlocked West African country the size of Texas that has imploded politically since a military coup in March.
Somalia adopted a provisional constitution in August, and a new federal government was formed after years of chaos that had fueled terrorism, piracy and famine. Security has slowly improved under the proxy force, which is led by the African Union but bankrolled and trained by the United assault pack States, European Union and United Nations.
Carson said the internationally backed plan for Somalia s political reconstruction was working because the country s neighbors, the United States, E.U. and United Nations had subscribed to a common set of goals.
Mali s military quickly lost control of the country after the March coup, which was led by a U.S.-trained army captain . Since then, Islamist militias assault pack affiliated with al-Qaeda have imposed strict Sharia law in northern Mali and, along with Tuareg rebels, declared an independent state. Hundreds of thousands of refugees have fled their homes.
The United States has been leery of a French-backed proposal assault pack for quick deployment of an internationally backed African assault pack force in Mali, preferring a more comprehensive plan that addresses underlying political problems and tribal divisions. assault pack
We want to make sure that it is an African-led international
