Who’s sawing off the Horn of Africa?

Not only has the Ethiopian invasion of Somalia deepened divisions inside both countries, but leaders in the Somali diaspora have been arguing that Ethiopia is committing genocide against ethnic Somalis. The AU, and a possible UN intervention in Somalia, should know that Somali leaders maintain that peace will only return to Somalia once a complete Ethiopian withdrawal takes effect. This particular issue has furthermore caused tensions between Eritrea and Uganda, further widening the negative impact political conditions in Somalia has on the Horn of Africa.... An analysis of the Horn of Africa’s political outlook in the short to medium term should include an assessment of geopolitical conditions in the Middle East. As part of Operation Enduring Freedom US naval vessels have engaged in several military strikes in Somalia. This shows that the Ethiopia-Somali axis is to some extent the “Southern front” of the larger Middle East theatre of war. US intervention in the Horn of Africa is brought about by the policy framework of the war on terror, ... This raises significant political questions that the AU has to confront, foremost among which is the impact foreign military aid (and political interference) has on the stability of African states.

France's presence in Central Africa is based out of Gabon, the major point of French military penetration on the continent. Read More!!!

The Partisans of Peace in Justice for Djiboutians condemn the Arab League in regard to its so-called mediation between Djibouti and Eritrea and its unwarranted intervention in the so called "Eritrea, occupation, which never took place because at no time Eritrea occupied a single parcel of the territory of Djibouti.

Warning to Africa: The New US Imperial Grand Strategy

[There is] a New Great Game afoot ...the "New Scramble for Africa" on the part of the great powers. ...The U.S. military's European Command now devotes 70 percent of its time to African affairs, up from almost nothing as recently as 2003....At present the world is experiencing a new age of imperialism marked by a U.S. grand strategy of global domination. One indication of how things have changed is that the U.S. military is now truly global in its operations with permanent bases on every continent, including Africa, where a new scramble for control is taking place focused on oil. ... A political unit that has overwhelming superiority in military power, and uses that power to influence the internal behavior of other states, is called an empire....the United States does not seek to control territory or govern the overseas citizens of the empire, we are an indirect empire, to be sure, but an empire nonetheless....

Peace Process Essentially Means War: A look at UN Peacekeeping & Eritrea Ethiopia Case

Few of us seriously scrutinize or even question “Peace Processes” and associated diplomatic maneuvers. It is something that automatically implies a benevolent and/or benign respectable endeavor.... “Peace process essentially means war,” writes R. Philpot, “a war in which the sponsors of the process choose the winner before the meeting they call take place. They then pretend to be neutral during negotiations. Having bought time, they tighten the noose on the designated loser and prepare the ground to install a government that is totally subject to their will.” ... Sherene Razack in her 2004 book, “Dark Threats and White Nights: The Somalia Affair, Peacekeeping, and the New Imperialism”, writes: "modern peacekeeping revealed its sordid colonial origins. Soldiers had acted more like conquerors than humanitarians." Read More!!!
