As we predicted this past week, the theatrical upheaval in
Mali was merely a nudging exercise to move forward the stated objectives laid
down in US AFRICOM policy.
With no debate or questioning in foreign policy circles,
and with Obama’s coronation and ceremonial pop concert in Washington DC keeping
American eyes and ears glued to the corporate media punditry, NATO allies, led
by the US, are carefully carving out a comprehensive military footprint in
Africa in order to further evict Chinese influence from the continent.
A convenient excuse in the short-term will be to ‘stop the
spread of Islamic extremist, but as history has witnessed, this is merely a
superficial justification for a comprehensive military and economic
colonization of the region over the next two decades. Ironic that it would be
America’s first ‘black’ President who would reside over the takeover of Africa.
Expect more US bases to come in the near future, as well as more violent civil
wars popping up regularly in the region.
