African foray

The Bush administration’s new military initiatives in Africa are widely seen as being motivated primarily by the greed for oil.

AS part of its efforts to prevent the precipitous decline of Empire, the administration of President George W. Bush announced in early February the decision to create a United States military command for Africa, “Africom”. Bush said that Africom would be a fully functional unit by the end of 2008. He said that the Africa command “will enhance our efforts to bring peace and security to the people of Africa”. The announcement comes after the American-backed Ethiopian invasion of Somalia in December.
