  • @tamaduni NOT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST THE NIGGERS THAT LOVE THEIR SLAVE MASTERS

  • @tamaduni i tell you this makes me sick to the stomach

  • Africom is more like "AFRI-CON"

    It's the way the American Government can arm Corrupt African Governments to supress their own citizens for their own interests. It does not benefit the African people nor does it benefit the American people.

    As Salaamu alikum:

    rap or Hip Hop is not strong enough for this fight! So stop with the Hip-Hop s ugar h oney i ce t ea, alright?!! This is a Western, or European aggression with an anti-Islamic African development equation. So, therfore, the approach needs an Islamic personality and an Islamic solution.

  • @muhammadthejust How can you say this when Islamic governments in Sudan and other parts of Africa are committing genocide against Black Africans for the sake of Arabs. Where ever you see Arabs, they have fucked over Black Africans. Arabs need to be out of Africa along with whites. My Black brother, stop being the Arab's puppet. We had our own languages, cultures, history before Arabs enslaved us, took our women as sex slaves. To Arabs and Islam, you are nothing more than a "monkey" or an Abid.

  • America will get what it deserved. America is going to be the fastest empire to fall out of power faster than any other empire came to power before.

  • @hollapro

    True!

    Who can believe in US gov & military after cascade of lies and transgressions ?

  • SAY NO TO AFRICOM!!!!!! RESIST XD

  • @ barlog20 I am as gambian as you can ever be. Senegal is very humane Country and US in Senegal will help burst Senegal's decipline army which is threaten by Casamance drugskins rebels, reside in Bissau and Gambia. If they succeed that the END of Gambia. Again such cooperation can bring opportunities in developmnet if utilise thoroughly e.g South Korea and US, Taiwan and US, Japan and US. We want peace, modernity and development in Senegambia. U have racial complex. or an AlQaeda field slave.

  • @112233444821 If you are a Gambian you need to stop being stupid.I know the U.S cause i live here and believe me ,the U.S is after Africa`s resources,they are not there to help Africa.The U.S and Europe are the ones that funded these crooked governments in Africa to steal your resources.The "i wanna help you rant" from the U.S is just a front to get you to trust them.And the U.S is the one that funded Al-queda,they use Al-queda as an excuse to invade a country and install a puppet to control it.

  • @barlog20 U live in US and I live in the UK. I studied international business at uni, so that stealing of resources is the pas,t trust me. It more to do with the buying power of MNC. You talked about US exploit Africa. Bill gates, Clinton,carter even Bush did more for African than combined African american celebs ?Blood diamonds bling bling is huge market in Afro American celebs? . A blackman is leading a nation made of africans origins to steal resources in their ancester land. who is stupid?

  • Yo that was really on point.

    and even the brother who rapped at the end had a mean flow game.

    so the question is what is the current situation there?

  • Look at the state in Africa, dictators, human rights abuse, corporate exploitation, undemocratic .... where is your capital and knowledge for your ancestor's home. Every other "Race" (Jews, chinese, whites in ww11) give economical, political, and socially to there Ancestor's continent. AFRICOM will atleast scare african dictators using army to silenced people. You all are sick Hypocrites... From a Gambian

  • @112233444821,i doubt you are even a gambian,i think you fucking agent or a house Negro.

  • @barlog20 I am as gambian as you can ever be. Senegal is very humane Country and US in Senegal will help burst Senegal's decipline army which is threaten by Casamance drugskins rebels, reside in Bissau and Gambia. If they succeed that the END of Gambia. Again such cooperation can bring opportunities in developmnet if utilise thoroughly e.g South Korea and US, Taiwan and US, Japan and US. We want peace, modernity and development in Senegambia. U have racial complex. or an AlQaeda field slave.

  • @112233444821 am a gambian but i totally disagree with you,we dont need foriegn armies waching over our leaders,what we need is us waking up from our sleep and making our leaders accountable,and stop blaming the west,the problem is us,and our inactive attitude towards politics,if we dont question our leaders lets not task others to do our job,

    like in gambia wen tyrany is law then revolution is order and justified

  • @westafricanwarrior My point is Us in Senegal and as we know how senegal army is decipline compare to even ours where GCE hokders took over an entire country and brought things we never imagine in Gambia. US army in Senegal will just burst senegal and can help to deter casamance rebels in Gambia and Bissau whose aim is disastrous to Gambia. And might encourage professional gambia army to kick Gambia dictator out. so that We can experience again normally in Gambia. Developments might come too.

  • @112233444821 man i understand your point,but thats the problem us africans thinking US can give us democracy,hell america is not even a democracy is the rich rule the poor,we in gambia dont need a donated democracy and by that i mean a democracy created by the presence of america the people need a civil uprising,to remove that asshole dictator that has been spoiling our peace loving country,which should live up to its name the smiling cost of africa

  • @112233444821 i understand ur point and ts logical but u have to understand too africom is a projection of us power and military might into africa,now we can let them come but do u belive its for our benefits they are their,could they not put that money that goes into africom to cure malaria which kills more people than dictators.and further is distances us from challenging our leaders we should look to others to do our duty for us,its up to us to remove that ignorant full

  • You can yell and scream all you like, but AFRICOM is still happening. It would take a lot more than just obstinate protesting to stop it. If you're for or against, it's being implemented right now either way.

  • Now with Barry Soetero the U.S.A. can see a clear strategy put forth by the corporate interest that own them.

  • nothing much has change from the days of slavery, western nations still have huge influences in elections or how a goverment should be run just for resources.......country like ivory coast still pay taxes to the french goverment for whatever reasons

  • war on terror what terror is in africa that could pose a threat to the continent.

  • I'd also like to know who does the track at the end. Truth bombs!

  • whats the name of the song at the end?:P

  • Fuck the NWO!!!!

  • The saddest thing is that most US officials directly involved in this project from the state departement to the Military are BLACK !!! How the hell is it possible that we blacks don't learn from the past ?? That's killing me more than anything else...those blacks(US cityzens and Africans) have to be hang from their tongues !

  • Unfortunatetley many Africans are being duped, coerced, or bribed in order to align themselves with European and American agitators in an unprecedented and willfull act of treachery and tyrany to destabilise, plunder and milk Africas economies in a parasitic relationship that is becoming more rapacious and brutal as time goes on.

  • Black people should consider our remote controlled sellout leadership more dangerous and destructive than Satan himself. Africom and Co only exist because these people give them validation.

  • For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don't gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. LUKE 6.44

    How is it that a nation that is and was Involved in genocide, slavery, and economic depredation of hued people going to suddenly pop out of a crypt to preach salvation??????

  • DIEGO GARCIA this is what will happen in Africa when they have enough Uncle Toms believing all this nonsense.

    The great lakes region of Africa ???

    The mineral resources of Southern, Equatorial, and North Africa???

  • Where's the outrage in Hip Hop? Oh..thats right...dem bitches are rappin' about wearing the diamonds stolen from the motherland instead of being men and denouncing the western interets that are raping the motherland.

    Wake up black men. Wake up fast.

  • @ChristiansMustLearn Lol and look at their gollywog of a president .. A negro slave with all the perks he could ever want from his masters come to save AFRICA from terrorists.With respect to true blooded African blacks ,you guys need to get the US of your soil and be well fucking careful while youre doing it.

  • Sadly these rappers are themselves owned by co-operations who litterally dictate to them what they can and can't say.

  • get your fucking yanky asses out of our continent

  • the U.S. is sick and then they send a Black General in there to "relate" to the people....oh how clever........

  • Yes. Any black foreign trained go to Africa for Africa- help Build her don't go for this bull.

  • @JahariKavi He's an Uncle Tom!!

    RESIST!! Mother Africa is about to get raped again!! They gave us HIV/AIDS!! These Western European nations are getting their zip ties ready again!! Africa has so many mineral rescources it can be self sufficient!! They want our goods!! Don't let these devils rape your mother again!!

  • @JahariKavi Do you have a problem with black Americans mate?

  • Come on people, we all can see this is the continuing of white male domination of darker races all over the planet, to plunder and take resources out of the country, next is the Asian alliance,but the thing is, the US is so in debt, they can't repay China, so in a few years,you know what will come, unrest between the two countries,and China has a 5 million man army waiting to unleash them, right on American soil, where blood will be shed all over the US. We must remove this devil off the planet.

  • Comment removed

  • @alsirx I cant wait to be ruled by chinese, you niggers are done

  • I've this very evening just returned from a Royal African Society seminar, with presentations by Daniel Volman (ASRP) and Jeremy Keenan (SOAS), at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London ('Obama, AFRICOM and the Militarization of Africa') echoing every issue raised in this video and a great deal more. Extremely worrying. Thank you, elliejoy11, for posting this video.

  • the American government is disgusting.

  • Its not the government its the elite private interests that govern policy via their corporations.

  • once again the Our American government intends to exploit another country.

  • Wow that was a great flim. Africom sounds like a terrible idea.

  • America FTW!!!

  • The same thing going on in the Inner cities of America!!! Build up fake leaders to steal and oppress the communities!!! Same game!!!

  • America is the enemy of mankind and especially the poor and innocent...They are bringing more weapons to a nation that already is flooded with weapons and starving people..instead of bringing medical aid and real food and education..they bring more guns...America must be resisted and those that work with them in Africa.

  • thats their plan they think they are suppose to be the most powerful nation...they want control of EVERYTHING they care nothing about its people and by any menas necessary they willstrive to get what they want...they wont bring those things cause they don't really want no one to be fully educated nor cure...can't u see how they have that insciption in Georgia ...KEEP THE POPULATION BELOW 500 MILLION...they want Africa cause of its natural resources...once that is taken what is left

  • They will tempt them and make them believe as if they are helping them in the long run ...with a blink of an eye they took everthing away from them...Nothing that America has a hand in is good...iit rotten and withers. They brought a dark skinned man to do a white man job.....N no Im not prejudice ...but most of us know thats exactly what they did.

  • Comment removed

  • America and it's military industrial allies bring fascism to Africa.

  • and yes this government only wants oil and to comtrol the world but it's not only our government there are ties between us and China Germany ( SHIT our government is based on nazism ) Iran Iraq the list goes on. BUSH OSAMA AND SADAM HAD A OIL BUSINESS TOGETHER FOR GODS SAKE

  • Ok I speak for MYSELF not all white people when I say I believe life began in Africa and can be saved by Africa.. We have to realise what the egyptians and romans ment by their symbols over 2000 yrs ago to even comprehend what the fremmasons of this currupt government is doing. about 90% of teh world has NO CLUE what is goin on and I mean REALLY going on! The world needs unity in LOVE not unity in politics or money SAY NO TO NEW WORLD ORDER

  • You are right Obama is bad for the people.But I am not worried about the world I am worried about afrakan and my afrakan people.The new world order can have the world We went afraka thats it!

  • America is a leech, and those black American soldiers no comment

  • Black American soldiers are traitors and House Niggers. No Black man in their right man should fight for the American army. Africom will be existed like the French being resisted in Haiti. We will not tolerate American propaganda in Africa. If it proliferates our struggle then guess what? So be it. Fuck the Black Americans in the army, they are working against peace and helping destroy their motherland, what abunch of idiots.

  • Resisted* not existed.

  • What the US will do is engineer a new super virus like they did with AIDS and exterminate a majority of African people. They won't succeed though..

  • And this couldnt be more true then for the black soliders in afrika.Its a damn shame!

  • We dont want any aid ,help, medicine, troops or anything to do with Europeans or Americans period! Why can you understand that? Its like you guys are parasites. Or like an annoying little girl who comes around when they are not wanted!

  • A pet General used for his color.

  • We most not allow ourselfs to fooled again people.Man this makes my real made.for real

  • Oh my .Refocus yourself black people. Got out of that they will save you mentality. You have to save yourself. They are parasites of this world. We most kick them out of afrika right now. We most be prepared for another invasion of the motherland. The whites are not you only enemy the A-Rab is your enemy as while. As while as china. Who has their hands in your pocket. Wake up. History always repeats itself

  • great video thank you for posting

  • Any black man in the U.S. military ought to be ashamed of himself for selling out his ancestors aiding the U.S. militarization of Africa , to expand the resource grab of OIL , Cobalt & other minerals for U.S. advance weaponry , cell phones etc etc.

    Also funding dictator of Uganda for attacks , funding & aiding attacks on Somalia by proxy Ethiopian Army ,that murders & rapes ..

    It's U.S. terrorism under guise of " security " , giving itself the right to cause trouble & control the region

  • Yeah except one little detail you left out, any black man in the US that didn't migrate by their own free will, is the descendant of conquered African tribes sold into slavery by other Africans. Loyalty to Africa ended on that day.

  • Comment removed

  • What about the ones whose tribes were never conquered but were seen wandering around and were kidnapped before the slave trade, during the slave trade and after the slave trade?

  • Touche but those were in numbers far smaller compared to my point. Don't make the exception the rule. Point is, the vast majority of African Americans were betrayed by their own people. At the time, it was based on tribe, but it's dumb to now say "Well, you have to be loyal to Africa because you originally came from there and you shouldn't be in the US military". Come on, what about Irish? What about Germans?

    Loyalty ended when one tribe conquered the next and sold them.

  • Nope. They were not in smaller numbers. They were in millions. Majority of the tribes in West African countries were not involved in the slave trade, just few of them. Not an entire country or the entire continent. The continent itself was captured and colonized by the buyers except Ethiopia. You should be prepared  to give long & painful evidence if you mention things like the Africans sold other Africans into slavery. I will not get into that since it wasn't your point.

  • Gen Ward was heading into retirement before he was promoted & appointed the Commander. Vice Admiral Robert T. Moeller not Ward developed & wrote the manual for U.S Africom and initially was supposed to be the 1st Commander. Ward's appearance as a black man played a role. It is not a debate. His appearance was suppose to sell the command to Africa. Instead the Africans resisted him and rejected the command. Now who is selling who and who is being loyal to who. Its complicated.

  • By the way lets keep our discussion civil.

  • 10 million slaves were involved in the Atlantic Slave trade. Are you trying to claim that slave traders, who usually only had a few men, rounded up millions of slaves, 1 by 1 by 1, with no help from African tribes?

  • Comment removed

  • Are you still on this slave thing? Weren't your people once the buyers, kidnappers, colonizers and dehumanizes of black people? Whats the argument there? You need to research how Africa tribes treated slaves when there were no prison systems in Africa. It was the opposite of the Europeans. You should also research how African tribes & families especially African mothers whose lives were devastated by the loss of their loved ones stolen by Europeans. That effect is still taking place till today.

  • That effect was incorporated into & heightened tribalism. Its PART (notice the key word part) of why you see some ongoing conflicts in few African countries. To add more fuel into fire, US Africom (of all people) was looking for a base on the continent. Carrying out the wish of US Oil, energy companies & oil politicians. US Africom a MILITARY COMMAND was disguised as a humanitarian command with a humanitarian mission to the congress for funding. It didn't work too well cos Africans rejected it.

  • Africans did not use slaves. Africans eliminated competition.  Whites on the other hand...I don't want to talk about it.

  • lamrof, I think you misunderstood me. The way Caucasians called and treated slaves was very different from the African approach. Slaves were more like Butlers, servants, maids, etc. Most times they were caught after tribal conflicts or a convicted criminal. The thing is Africans never laid their hands on them, they were still treated with human dignity & respect. The master could marry his female servant if she chooses and they will have kids.The male servant will work just enough to buy his....

  • freedom and return home or he will work his way up in his new society. He could even marry his former master's daughter(s). It wasn't all harmonious, but they were treated as human. Sometimes it was even difficult to tell who was the master and the servant.This is just basic information. I just don't know where Europeans got this barbaric treatment & dehumanizing of humans from that Africans later copied. Its still a debating issue among Western and African historians.

  • African Americans are told what to believe. A lots of lies have been told to on how they got here. No body for sure knew whether they were actually sold as claimed by the White Europeans or they were forcefully taken away from their ancestor's. The Europeans did a lot of damage to the African continent than the good claimed through their colonization. They write history according to how they are pleased with. Africom almost tried to start their own colonization & militarization that failed.

  • @ImperialEmpire the europeans powers paid leader of clans and tribes to sell of their own people, or else the would face the gun muzzle. African unlike asians did not at the time had the capabilities to fight back

  • The militants in the Niger Delta have just called on the disgraceful, corrupt oil companies to leave Nigeria. They and the US client regime in power are blood sucking parasites getting rich whilst locals in the Delta live in filth & poverty. It is clear that in a few years, if/when Africom becomes a powerful & fully operational force, US troops, weapons & advisors will be sent into places like the Niger Delta to crush any & all home grown resistance movements. This is Africom's raison d'etre.

  • We will unite worldwide and come back into Africa and crush any attempts of Caucasaisn attempt to reestablish slavery again.

    People read between the lines, they want to start slavery again.

  • God bles Rep. John Tierney in the video.He is right what Africa desperately needs is help to fight diseases,hunger and education.Not giving a hungry man more guns to kill themselves!

  • Right on!!!! This is just another ploy to re-establish their chokehold on colonialism while snatching resources in the process.  Hasn't history taught us anything????

  • what about the job this will bring to the local people

  • Isn't it funny there are still people like you that think you can bring a people jobs by stationing combat troops and offensive ordinance in their backyard?Africa needs help with agriculture,education,healthca­re not your damned bombs.Ask Iraqis!

  • Iam not sure if Africans want that job of burying their victims of this campaign.There has been enough CIA inspired blood shed already in Africa.What Africa now desperately needs from the US isn't more bombs but more US brains on how to solve the problem of poverty,disease and hunger.

  • the only thing AFRICA needs from the u.s is for them to get the fuck out of AFRICA,put true afrcan leaders in power who are not uncle toms trying to help give away the wealth of AFRICA to these maggots.if africom goes through ,every black person on the planet needs to fight for our mother land!!!!!!!!!!!thats where we are from!!! not u.s not haiti not jamaica or any other place we are from AFRICA and we cant let them do this. LIBERATION through REVOLUTION!!!!

  • We can talk and talk and talk this sh*t has to end. I'm tired of Africa treated as though she is the local town whore.

  • this all lies watch my video africom is a tool for war of resources nothing more or less just like iraq were we found no bombs dont be fooled again, again and again people do your own research on the net

  • That money could be used more for feeding the people and take care of the diseases.People can't help themselves when they are hungry and ill.I do not agree with Africom.

  • this africom BS is nothing but a PLOT TO REINSTALL THE RECOLONIZATION OF AFRICA WE MUST RESIST THIS EVIL TERRORIST GROUP!!!!!!!!!!

  • say no to africom

  • fuck that if they attack we rise up and meet them these devils aint gonna never stop. and fuck waiting for them to attack we to take a stand now.

  • If reparations were paid to African Americans btes be sure many of us would move to Arica and tke our money there. Independence cost much

  • This is my first time seeing this, i am going back home to ghana within this week with my wife to see what we can do to protect our country. Others raise awareness and write to your government about your feelings about this shameful project. anything but staying silent would be helpful.

  • They will always use some house negro to carry out their agendas 1:20.

  • A poor attempt at sarcasm, who is the hick down below pretending to mimick ebonics? Nobody important. This video is sickening, Im sure Obama was in on it all along.

  • well dey could have gone back 2 Afrakan bondage in dey 1400's & overrow of many Afrakan nayshuns

  • The pink "white" race is like a virus to the brown "black" race of Africa. and i want hatred against that race increased in order to protect our race.

    that race presence must be seen as HIV being around us,

    if Africom comes and become operational in Africa we will found ways to target it.

    That race has done too much evil against us and it is time to increase hated toward it.

  • you are correct they are the enemies of humanity, the enemies of us all, I as a Central Asian see them as you do and I support you in your struggle for freedom aaginst europeans. we must all stand united against these people.

  • Great vid! I noticed other videos say "Bush's plot against africa". It is worth noting that now that now that Obama is in the white house, it does not mean that any US interests fade.Now it is no less Bush's plot than it is Obama's. In fact I might be the first to argue that the reason Obama is president is that our government wants to fool us into thinking we really control what high level politicians do. Unfortunately most of my fellow black americans have already been fooled. Sad but true.

  • This is a very good video and I can see why American business interests were so ready to back Barack Obama.

    To those who talk about human trafficking please try a better excuse, human trafficking. Happens in Eastern and Central Europe as well.

    Put military bases there to stop that! Oh I forgot China and Russia have nuclear weapons.

    We need Africa Africa cooperation and less ethnic strife, the vultures are circling and Africans are going to be the dinner.

    China helping Africa?

  • Remember Katanga! "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

  • The bumb GWB had the nerve to brag about how much he did for Africa, on his way out!

  • say no to africom so no to the devil

  • Nice video.

    It needs change in the volume levels though.

    Peace.

  • say no to africom so no to the devil

  • "Nations do not act solely for altruistic reasons." - you hit the nail on the head, PlaneCDR! The last thing Africa needs is to become a new frontier in the expansion of US military interests. As a military man yourself, I'm sure you know that soldiers are better fighting for oil wells than digging water wells.

  • Th3wai, you make interesting points but I think you may be missing a fundamental reality. Nations do not act solely for altruistic reasons. Each has only limited resources and must be very judicious when expending their wealth. I offer that you may want to consider whether or not the efforts (as a whole) not only support national goals but also improve the lives of those the programs are meant to help.

  • Africans opposed Africom. THEY DO NOT WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!! If you think that fact does not matter,then ur a fucking imperialist.

  • Perhaps you should do some research yourself. Statistics prove that save for those few countries in Africa that are against the West anyway, the majority not only welcome but actively work with U.S. military personnel. BTW, cussing and name calling only makes you appear uninformed.

  • What are you talking about? The only African country that welcomed US Africom on the continent was Liberia. That was just the government's choice and not the peoples choice. The rest 51/52 countries rejected the U.S military command. Is that what you mean by few African countries? You need to find a Ghanaian forum somewhere and read how bitter the people are against U.S Africom in anticipation of Obama's visit.

  • True but with Obamas black face on the same system.They will eat it and drink the kool aid.Obama is the worst thing to happen to us afrikans!

  • I Support Africom

  • I went on your page and by the comments people left you .I can clearly see you are prick. Have nice life having the devil thoughts you have!

  • no dude i think africom is good for africa because look at what is happening there are terrorist groups and instability ik think that troops on the ground would actually have the population calm i even read that 1 out of 4 men from some country in africa admitted to raping women the comunitys and women and children there need to feel security on theyre own soil so that they can develope and prosper .

  • Are you talking to me ?Do you think I am a child ?Its obvious that you do not know what you are speaking! Why would someone thousands of miles way needs to deal with community problems ?Do you not know anything about war? This is war kid. Now please let the adults do the thinking!

  • hey i know plenty about war ! im even joining the U.S. Army so that i can help less fortune countrys and fight terrorists and all those that threaten freedom and democracy witch is something i guess you just take for granted !

  • You dont know shit about war. War is politics with guns. Their is no such thing is democracy! Its paper democracy! Tell me herralce how are you going to fight for freedom and democracy when you dont have it?? The U.S Army never helped not one country. Its just a ploy to establish a strategic base to steal more resources! Why do you buy into bullshyt! you have a damn brain use it. See how your government operates and what they are doing. Soon America is going to be in a hell zone

  • @HerraIce

    Your spelling indicates that you are just the sort of person that gets sucked into joining the U.S. army. Uneducated and easily misinformed. Eager cannon fodder.

  • You are a very ignorant man. This is about the exploitation of African resources. We don't need American military on African soil. There are no terrorist there. Have you been to the continent yourself?. Perhaps instead of writing ignorant comments on youtube you will do well to educate yourself on how your puppet administration is crumbling your economy by waging useless wars on terror they created themselves

  • Obama is the worst thing that happened to the world.

  • or Bush

  • Africans don't want it and will slew Americans, they loathe you like the rest of the world, what do you not understand? Keep it up and see what happens. We don't want Africom and our word is final, it is our continent. Can you not keep your nose where it belongs? You just want oil, diamonds, and gold.

  • 3. Assume countering Chinese and Russian influence in the region is a component (not the entire reason) for U.S. actions. So what? Have you read about the Sudanese bombing campaign backed by the Chinese so they could get their oil pipeline. What aide that come from the Russians/Chinese contain any human rights or good governance stipulations? None.

  • 2. Look at the statistics and you will find that, by far, the US give more money to humanitarian efforts than any other nation by far. Some will say that as a percentage of GDP the U.S. is not the largest percentage giver. To me, that is not a relevant statistic for two reasons:

    (1) Amount of dollars matters to accomplishing anything.

    (2) Those statistics fail to account for the huge contributions of faith-based organizations - again, far larger than any other country.

    1. Building African nations' security capacity improves the lives of Africans and keeps everyone, not just the U.S., safer. These efforts counter trafficking in narcotics, stolen goods, and human beings. Trafficking in humans is one of the most insidious crimes existing today! These efforts are not free. The U.S. must expend its own resources on them, balancing security goals, U.S. foreign policy goals, an altruistic interests.

  • I think it makes more sense to see AFRICOM as a response to growing Chinese and Russian investment in the region, in what may well be a new "scramble for Africa". I expect that "development" has a lot more to do with access to natural resources (Nigeria), the war against terror (Somalia) and strategic geopolitical interests (Egypt).

  • 2. It would be worth examining exactly who receives the bulk of this "humanitarian assistance". One-third of all US aid goes to Israel and Egypt, followed by Colombia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc. Humanitarian aid is rarely aimed at those who need it most. It almost is always an extension of foreign policy, and often conditional on it being spent on US products and services.

  • Wow, you really missed the point of AFRICOM...good job educating yourself first.

  • This video misses the larger point:

    1. Security is a fundamental requirement for development, in Africa or elsewhere. AFRICOM helps African countries build their security capacity. Read any of a host of books on the security issues within Africa and this will be evident.

    2. The U.S. Dept of Defense is the largest provider of humanitarian assistance in the world.

    3. AFRICOM is integrated with USAID and Dept of State, first of its kind.

    4. AFRICOM focuses on development, defense, and diplomacy.

  • 1. It's true, AFRICOM does indeed helps African countries build their security capacity, but only to the extent that it furthers US foreign policy in the region. I don't think we should accept at face value that "development" will the core motivator in those policy decisions. As explained in the film, AFRICOM is concerned with maintaining and extending US economic and military influence to protect it's own, rather less altruistic, interests.

  • U r a bastard!!!!!! We dont need security from fucking americans, keep ur security shit to urself... we are happy with the way we lives our lives... Tell ur government to leave us the fuck alone cos like the story of david and goliath; WE WILL DEFEAT YOU!!!!!!

  • its not americans it is our government. I dont have a say in this.

  • LOL, people like u are exactly why they're able to do it.

  • @PlaneCDR we do not need your shit AFRICOM.fuck off.

  • Anyone here wondering what the USA's annual humanitarian budget amounts to? If so, a few quick searches will show you it compares quite well to its military budget when compared to the next 45 countries on that list. It turns out the USA is not as evil as some may want you to think.
