AFRICOM AND THE USA’s HIDDEN BATTLE FOR AFRICA What is the current meaning of "War against Terror” for Africa? The true intention of America's recent military interventions in the African continent (both covert and open) is nothing other than the expansion and consolidation of Western capital. It all started in 2001 when George W. Bush declared his "War on Terror" in the continent, but has developed in a manner that has gone beyond human imagination in the body counts on the streets of Somalia, in the jungles of Uganda and Congo, and deserts of Sudan. The chief of the US African Command, General E. Ward, explained this in language more clear than that of any US politician when he stated that an Africa in which "African populations are able to provide for themselves, contribute to global economic development and are allowed access to markets in free, fair, and competitive ways, is good for America and the world..."... |

FEATURES
The future, with all its difficulties, means that none of us can be

prepare perfectly and still lose your home, you can do everything
right and have bad things befall you. There are things we cannot
control. So each of us must live in the world as though we will

rely solely on others to provide for their needs. Until people are
empowered to help themselves, in-kind assistance from the outside is
useful only in the immediate aftermath of acute emergencies.
