Hell No, We Won’t Go To War Against Africa!

Elders and other influencers discouraged Black youth from becoming fodder for the Iraq war, but what of the looming U.S. imperial wars in Africa? The U.S. Africa Command propagates the lie that it only “advises” friendly forces on the continent, but “at the same time establishes bases in the Central African Republic and South Sudan” as part of a purported mission to hunt a guerilla force in the region. U.S. ground wars in Africa may be upon us before there is a chance “to throw up an anti-recruitment barrier around the community.” The education process must begin now, and become permanent.

Obama’s Tragic Rorschach Perceptions of the Law, Africa and Military Intervention

Tue, 10/25/2011 - 12:57 — Mark P. Fancher

 

by Mark P. Fancher

President Obama uses his training as a constitutional lawyer to find opportunities to spread violence and impose U.S. imperial will on Africa. He makes war against Libya and then denies having done any such thing. He sends troops to Uganda and other central African nations, at precisely the time when Uganda is discovered to possess huge reserves of oil. Are the soldiers there to protect Uganda, whose army is quite capable, or is it there to draw a line against China’s commercial “advance into the Congo basin.”

Starving Somalia: U.S. “Other Wars” Kill More than Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq

Thu, 08/11/2011 - 09:26 — Glen Ford

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford

More people die because of U.S. military and economic attacks in places like Somalia and Congo than in the more widely acknowledged wars of American empire. These “Other Wars” consume “hundreds of thousands – millions – of lives, and have resulted in, or contributed to, the two worst humanitarian crises in Africa over the past four years.” President Obama’s announcement of $105 million for Somalia is a cynical diversion from the fact of U.S. use of food as a weapon of war.

Somalia: Obama's Unholy Alliance With Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni

Tue, 01/04/2011 - 18:50 — Anonymous

by Black Star News editorial desk

The Obama administration’s ongoing alliance with Ugandan leader and war criminal Gen. Yoweri K. Museveni has allowed the dictator “to suppress domestic dissent and to commit wars of aggression against Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and now the Central African Republic.” Museveni’s service to U.S. policy in Somalia, where thousands of Ugandan troops prop up a “fictional” government, prevents the Somalis from forming a legitimate regime.

Uganda, America’s Pit Bull, Wants to Lead a Larger War in Somalia

Tue, 10/12/2010 - 22:31 — Glen Ford

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford

America’s top hit man in Africa, Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni, is calling for a much larger air, sea and land war in Somalia – with Museveni’s forces on point. The saber-rattling follows on the heels of Uganda’s and Rwanda’s threats to withdraw from UN “peacekeeping” missions, such as in Somalia. What’s up?

Paul Kagame: America's Genocidaire in Central Africa

Wed, 08/11/2010 - 19:26 — Glen Ford

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford


Precisely like his predecessor, President Obama empowers a pro-western Murder Inc. in Black Africa, a roster that includes the most vicious mass murderers and assassins on the continent. One of them, Rwanda's Paul Kagame, who is culpable in the death of millions in Congo, recently held an election in which he got 93 percent of the vote. But you won't hear any complaints from the White House.

U.S.-backed War in Somalia Comes to Uganda, Threatens to Set Whole Region Aflame

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford

The U.S. war against Somalia expands outwards and “has now blown back to Uganda,” the U.S. ally that, “along with the minority Tutsi dictatorship in Rwanda, is America's most reliable mercenary force in Black Africa.” Ethiopia and Kenya prepare to join Uganda in an offensive against the Somali resistance, to save America’s puppet mini-state in Mogadishu.

 

Could International Criminal Court Deploy U.S. as World Law Enforcer?

Wed, 06/09/2010 - 11:02 — Glen Ford

more AFRICOMby BAR executive editor Glen Ford

The chief prosecutor of the court that purports to bring the rule of law to the planet is actively campaigning to appoint the United States – ‘the world’s most prolific perpetrator and sponsor of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide’ – as chief law enforcement agent. This, despite the fact that the United States is not, and does not intend to become, a member of the International Criminal Court, nor subject to its jurisdiction. But, no matter: thugs rule.

 

AFRICOM and the ICC: Enforcing international justice in Africa?

Tue, 06/01/2010 - 20:19 — Samar Al-Bulush...

by Samar Al-Bulushi and Adam Branch

The United States, which has never joined the International Criminal Court for fear that it might be prosecuted for crimes against humanity, is gearing up to use the ICC as a pretext to act as world gendarme. “The ICC risks becoming the latest pawn of US military strategy on the continent…in particular in conjunction with AFRICOM”

 

The Crimes of Bongo: Apartheid & Terror in Africa's Gardens of Eden, Part II

When Gabon President Omar Bongo died of a heart attack at age 73 in early June, multinational corporations and neocolonial leaders in Europe and the U.S. mourned his passing. He had served them well as the longest-running dictatorship in Africa.

Obama's African Policy the Same As George Bush's

Wed, 03/11/2009 - 02:27 — Glen Ford

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford

President Obama has officially made George Bush's sanctions against Zimbabwe, his own. "The White House justifies this economic aggression by claiming that Mugabe and his associates pose ‘an unusual and extraordinary threat' to American ‘foreign policy' - a "blatant, naked attempt at regime change."

Ending Uganda’s “Brilliant” Genocide

Tue, 09/18/2007 - 18:00 — Milton Allimadi

by Milton Allimadi

The United States' biggest ally in sub-Saharan Africa is Uganda, ruled by Yoweri Museveni, the butcher of the Congo, where at least three million people died because of the ravages of Museveni's and other pillaging armies. Musevini's regime was rewarded with aid and great praise by Washington. Internally, the regime has caused a whole people, the Acholi of northern Uganda, to become prisoners in their own homeland. For more than ten years, the Acholi have been interned in concentration camps - a human rights crime that the United States ignores, as does the British Commonwealth. Hundreds of thousands have died, but Museveni is George Bush's boy, so it does not matter.
