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 Carson, speaks to its public at
a level deserving of an uninformed, Helen Keller-esque populace, claiming that
Somalia was ‘a big success’ because Washington spooks spent $500 million
backing an “African Proxy Force” that allegedly “drove out al Qaida” in that
country. And it is no coincidence that massive untapped oil reserves in the
Puntland region in northeastern Somalia were recently announced in early 2012.
Just as Washington’s corporate interests are
hidden behind ‘humanitarian interventions’, the UK Prime Minister David Cameron
will run the same facade. Last February he hosted 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 are funded and supported, and ultimately steered – by the western
intelligence agencies – whereby they control all sides of the local conflict.
Note they are using the same recycled narrative in Mali now, fighting “Islamic
extremists” there – promoting freedom and democracy in the region etc.
Mali’s vast potential 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 was a mere
pre-negotiation meeting to discuss how oil assets would be divided up between
the US, UK and other remaining energy players – demonstrating what is the real
agenda with AFRICOM. 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.
Africa Pulse spells
it out: “Strong economic growth in the past decade among African countries rich
in oil and minerals has failed to make a significant dent on their poverty
levels, according to a World Bank report.”
In other words, the Anglo-American imperialists
would like to eliminate competition for Africa’s bountiful resources,
continuing a centuries-old policy of raping the Dark Continent and leaving
nothing but perpetual internal strife and poverty behind.
