    Default The War in Africa: American and French interference in Africa. (Libya, Niger, Somolia) Globalist interest in uranium, oil and African markets.




    https://democracynow.org -We look at the U.S. military presence in Africa and what happened during the ambush of U.S. Special Forces by militants in Niger, in which five Nigerien soldiers were killed along with four U.S. Green Berets. The incident is now the subject of a military and FBI investigation. At least 800 U.S. servicemembers are currently stationed in the country to support a French-led mission to defeat militants in West Africa. Meanwhile, Somalia continues to recover from a massive bombing in Mogadishu that killed at least 358 people. We speak with Horace Campbell, who is currently spending a year in West Africa as the Kwame Nkrumah chair at the Institute of African Studies at the University of Ghana. Campbell is a peace and justice scholar and professor of African American studies and political science at Syracuse University. We are also joined by Mark Fancher, an attorney and frequent contributor to Black Agenda Report, where his new article is headlined “U.S. Troop Deaths in Niger: AFRICOM’s Chickens Come Home to Roost.”

    This isn't being discussed much in the MSN of course. They are focusing on Trump insulting the family of one of the men killed. Again we all look at Trump so we don't look at where La David Johnson was killed and just what America and other countries are doing in Africa.

    Discussion of why Ghaddafi was overthrown. American, French, Chinese and Russian interests in the continent.

    The bit about drone bases in Africa and elsewhere really grabbed my attention! Drone bases! Anyone else heard of this? Besides training terrorist organizations in Northern Africa the American military also has a number of drone bases. The goal is of course to minimize American casualties which draw our attention to what is going on over there.

    New Drone Base in Niger Builds U.S. Presence in Africa
    By ERIC SCHMITT and SCOTT SAYARE
    FEB. 22, 2013

    WASHINGTON — Opening a new front in the drone wars against Al Qaeda and its affiliates, President Obama announced on Friday that about 100 American troops had been sent to Niger in West Africa to help set up a new base from which unarmed Predator aircraft would conduct surveillance in the region.

    The new drone base, located for now in the capital, Niamey, is an indication of the priority Africa has become in American antiterrorism efforts. The United States military has a limited presence in Africa, with only one permanent base, in Djibouti, more than 3,000 miles from Mali, where insurgents had taken over half the country until repelled by a French-led force.

    In a letter to Congress, Mr. Obama said about 40 United States military service members arrived in Niger on Wednesday, bringing the total number of those deployed in the country to about 100 people. A military official said the troops were largely Air Force logistics specialists, intelligence analysts and security officers.

    Mr. Obama said the troops, who are armed for self-protection, would support the French-led operation that last month drove the Qaeda and affiliated fighters out of a desert refuge the size of Texas in neighboring Mali.

    Niger, one of the poorest countries in the world, signed a status-of-forces agreement last month with the United States that has cleared the way for greater American military involvement in the country and has provided legal protection to American troops there.

    George Webb has an interesting theory going that he's been trying to bring to the attention to some of the Congressional leadership - a Pakistani spyring affiliated with the Awan brothers. If true, this would, then, also be tied into another incident that occurred in Yemen on January 29, 2017 that had resulted in a soldier being killed in a raid there - the first under the Trump presidency.

    George Webb has done some ground-breaking investigative work on the Awan brothers & their connection to several Democrat Congressmen & women... Debby Wasserman-Schultz was ultimately responsible for these brothers being hired, as IT tech specialists, by a large number of other political leaders.

    Here's a recent video report by George Webb...

    Thank you Turiya! Clearly I am late to the show. This Niger situation is quite the tangled web. Now that I know a little I hope to learn a lot more.
