What are American Troops doing in Nigeria ?

Last week, the Nigerian government announced the presence of US troops on its soil. American troops were deployed for, they say, “intelligence support and training, not combat operations.” Nigerian Defense Minister Christopher Musa addressed the “partnership.” This deployment is said to strengthen counter-terrorism cooperation. The AFRICOM commander, General Dagvin Anderson, claimed that the deployment was made at Nigeria’s request to focus strictly on intelligence assistance! In the background, it is said that this is to protect Christians.

How can they talk about anti-terrorism fight, when they are the ones funding these terrorist organizations? It is no secret that almost all facade terrorists organizations were created by Western secret services. It is no secret, that Bin Ladden was once a CIA operative, and we all know who funded ISIS (the US)! They have thus created chaos in Africa to destabilize the continent, and pillage freely resources.

How can they talk about the protection of Christians? After watching the video of the Nigerian pastor who called for the Trump administration to intervene in Nigeria, a few things stand out: he says (paraphrasing) “the UN, I know you see me; US senate, I know you are watching me; special council to Trump, Please tell him to save our lives.” Before that event, how many knew this pastor? He has never had popularity like TB Joshua… so how can he have the special ears of the US government? We saw that the December 25 US strikes in Nigeria were not in the area filled with Christians but rather one filled with Muslims in the northwest part, near the border with Niger!

Is it a coincidence that this US deployment occurs just a few days after the failed attempt in Niger? On January 29, gunfire and explosions occurred at the Niamey international airport against President Tchiani of Niger? Is it a coincidence that this happens just a few weeks, barely a month, after the failed attempt against President Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso (Another Coup Attempt Against the President of Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traoré)?

Is it a coincidence that this happens a few days after the Chinese mining giant Zijin bought several gold mines in Mali and other places? It is no secret that the US are trying to stop or level the Chinese, and to a certain extent Russian, expansion in Africa. We have always said that the meteoric global rise in gold prices is coming, in part, from the AES claiming back the control of their mines! We all know, since ancestral times with Emperor Kankan Musa, that Mali is one of the global key players in the gold industry… that’s how France could get their ranking as 4th in the global gold production.

It is also no secret that Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, has built the biggest oil refining complex in Africa which has driven local fuel production and reduced import dependence. Africa’s richest man has built one of the world’s largest oil refineries. Who does not remember the long lines at the pump in Nigeria, when Nigeria is an oil producer? This is a total game changer for Africans, and disrupts the business of these Western companies which were re-selling our oil back to us, as polluted fuel!

Thus, it is clear why American troops were sent to Nigeria: for control! Like I have said for years, there is a new scramble for Africa, and we are watching it happen right now! Remember how the cold war happened between the United States and the Soviet Union in other countries by proxy? Angola is a clear example, where the West and the East (USSR) were fighting or rather supporting both sides. Back then, it was a fight to stop Soviet expansion in the world… Today, it is a fight to stop Chinese expansion and keep Western domination in the world … Nothing has changed!

US Conducts Strikes in Nigeria

A few days ago we issued a word of warning to our African populist governments, and then yesterday the United States bombed Nigeria, or rather claimed to have bombed an area full of Islamic State’s terrorists in Sokoto, in northwest Nigeria “in conjunction” with the Nigerian government. A few weeks ago, we heard Americans talk about a Christian “genocide” in Nigeria, and we wondered what that was all about ?Remember the west always uses tricks like this: Muslims against Christians, dark-skinned vs. light-skinned, this tribe vs. that tribe, these ones vs. those ones … it is called the politic of divide-and-conquer.

Let us start with a lesson in geography. For those who don’t know, Sokoto is in the Northwest part of Nigeria and is the largest city before the border with Niger, one of the countries in the AES. Over the years, the Islamist State through Boko Haram have destabilized the entire region, but we all know that the area that has been destabilized is on the East, on the border with Cameroon. As a matter of fact, the whole northern part of Cameroon and northeastern of Nigeria have been plagued by Boko Haram attacks for over a decade now. Even Michelle Obama joined the #BringBackOurGirls campaign awareness for the Chibok girls who had been abducted in Nigeria in 2014; Chibok is also on the East, near Cameroon. From the news, the American government claims that the missile strikes were in response to a suicide attack against a packed mosque in Nigeria’s northeastern city of Maiduguri on Wednesday night. So why Sokoto, a mostly Muslim city … so no clear Christian vs. Muslim issue there. Isn’t this baffling? Is it an error in missile strikes, after all, who could blame these people if they don’t know our lands like us? However, it is no secret that America has one of the best intelligence services in the world… and they apparently had help from the Nigerian government itself. That same Nigerian government which cannot stop the abduction of its girls in the Northeast, yet flew fighter jets to strike positions in neighboring Benin to stop the coup against President Talon at the beginning of the month, and then landed in Burkina Faso? Thus, could it be because Sokoto, in northwest Nigeria, is on the border with Niger? Niger which booted the largest US drone base in the world out of their country (Niger suspends military “cooperation” with the US, effective immediately)? The same Niger which is part of the AES (Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger Sign a Mutual Defence Pact)? Niger which is nationalizing its uranium, and has booted France out of its land, and is developing its country, and as a part of the AES? We all saw when then US senator Gaetz asked for retaliation against Niger after the boot, … is this the beginning? or what is it? The explanation given by the American government seems quite bizarre.

The New Scramble for Africa (Source: Dr Jack & Curtis for City Press, National Institute African Studies (NIAS))

Africans need to remember that there is a New Scramble for Africa. Europe is falling apart, the West is falling apart … and the only way to stay strong is through that conglomerate of 54 countries that is Africa, with no real union or laws to protect the little ones, and even the big ones can fall prey having never dealt with some of these. They would try everything to keep us down, in-fighting and so on, so they could rise again when things are better. They are using all means, even immigration (the story for another day). This is the era of the awakening! Africa is the key to the world! There will be blood for Africa’s resources, and Africans have to be at the forefront of the battle for their own resources and take hold of what is theirs. Africans better wake up, the vultures are flying over!
