From the early on AFRICOM has been trying to persuade the general public of its truly humanitarian objectives in the African region. The U.S. military forces have insisted that its aim is to back up the armies of the partnering sides to African states and provide humanitarian aid. U.S. Army General Donald Bolduc uncovered the essential: “America is not at war in Africa. But its partner forces are.” The irony has never been more evident. It is summed up by another line by Derek Gannon: “U.S. military involvement in Africa is called Low Intensity Irregular Warfare, yet technically it’s not considered war by the Pentagon. But warfare is warfare to me.” The U.S. military presence in Africa is on the increase with its embassy-based military missions called “Offices of Security Cooperation” going up from nine in 2008 to 36 in 2016. It has been said the U.S. military is now present in at least 49 African countries, with the persuasive goal to fight terrorism. Thus, 100 troops were sent to Niger in 2013 to set up a drone base at the spot where the U.S. had already been engaged in refueling assistance to the French. By June 2017, AFRICOM personnel in Niger had increased to at least 645, and by now there may be as many as 800 U.S. troops staying there. “On October 5, about 30 Nigerien troops were patrolling in unarmored trucks alongside a dozen U.S. Army soldiers, among them Green Beret special forces. The patrol was coming from a meeting with tribal leaders and came within striking distance of the border between Niger and its war-torn neighbor Mali. The militants rode in on motorcycles and attacked the patrol with rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machine guns, killing eight: four Nigeriens, and another U.S. soldier.” With further expansion of sorts, AFRICOM will be more than confident of the U.S. military presence in Africa while being below the radar following its supposed advisory back-up story. Its agenda has been to use proxy African soldiers to engage in actual combat without worries of U.S. death toll. They are letting our people die from the bullets.

sometimes you would begin to wonder what we Africans actually did wrong. We have too much enemies all around, from internal and outside evil forces. Libya was just doing pretty good, until Obama along with UK and France came and said people of Libya do not deserve this peace and stability. Look at DRC, Somalia etc. Look at what Fulani herdsmen, BH are doing in Nigeria. Tell me when shall we have stability to sit down and fix our challenges. Without stability, there would be no peace, there would be no development. It's very unfortunate 1 Like |

sweetonugbu: Must it be payment before she can oppose what she feels or know is wrong? Have you not seen yourself? Have you not heard? Have you not observed that the more US or its allied troops are set up in locations, the more conflicts escalate in those regions? US troops is gradually increasing its presence in Africa and yet, conflict is more than before. Why is that? They will use presence of those troops as conduit to arm insurgents against the region. |

War is business to these whites, especially USA. It's a means of employing their jobless youths. Just like in the olden days, they're stylishly invading countries, get resources from those countries, and use the proceed to pay the debts they borrowed in paying their soldiers. It's "Warnomics". 3 Likes 1 Share |

saxha: You are right. The truth is If there are stability, there would be innovations coming from left and right corners of the world. These innovations would cut off the nearly all these western big companies like Microsoft, Google, GM etc. Take a look at China, there are tons of innovations coming from this nation, today, they have Huawei standing up to western big companies. There are others too like Alibaba, AI innovations etc. They are achieving all these because there is stability. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nathalie7: Are you asking about if it's a sustainable model, or about its morality? |
| Re: The U.S. Military Presence In Niger by saxha: 5:45pm On Jan 20, 2020 |
Olominira: All the weapons and guns they're producing who they'll even sell it to, if there's no war? Whites are crazy, they can't trade survival for morality. They can create problem if they know that providing solutions will favour them. To them, "the victims are cost of doing business". 1 Like |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNrATdTvTtk Why growing U.S. drone operations in Niger are controversial This story contains footage some viewers may find disturbing. Over the past few years, the U.S. military has increased its activities and broadened its mission in Africa. In Niger, the U.S. Air Force has built a huge new base from which it launches drone operations. But critics worry the American presence will serve to attract more attention from terrorists and traffickers drawn to the deserted Sahel. |

saxha: I don't think its a race issue tho there are lots of examples of whites who are anti-war. |
| Re: The U.S. Military Presence In Niger by saxha: 9:48am On Jan 21, 2020 |
Nathalie7:I doubt of it's in the black history to fight war for the purpose of economic reason. They tend to fight war only for supremacy or against oppression. However, Whites tend to /purposely fight war for economic reason mostly (e.g. history of Vikings). I may be wrong though. |
| Re: The U.S. Military Presence In Niger by saxha: 9:58am On Jan 21, 2020 |
Nathalie7:We're political animals, the people that'll be on trial for the war crimes, will surely be charged to court by people who want political and socioeconomic gains. They won't be putting the "war criminals"on trial for their misdeeds, but because the outcome of the trial will be a gain to them. |

Horus: This is my reason why Obama remains the most brutal US President to Africans. If he had the opportunity of destroying the continent at once he would have done it. Why desperately setting up millitary bases across Africa when we are in need of good healthcare, education, roads etc. Obama was busy setting up millitary bases, pushing his LGBT satanic agenda, sanctioning African nations along with his Hillary Clippton and France. These people definitely meet their Karma in one way or the other 1 Like |
