US makes frantic efforts to take over Africa

US makes frantic efforts to take over Africa
Prof. James Mbwabwadze
Thursday, 04 April 2013 00:00

THE United States of America, the world’s colossus, with the temerity to trample upon smaller nations, has made frantic efforts to take over Africa by laying siege to the continent’s vast natural resource base, through a more subtle colonialism.

This is done by exerting pressure on African states through regime change and the formation of a military unit, Africom, to specifically deal with Africa and control the continent’s oil, land, minerals and other natural resources.

Everywhere where diamonds are found, the eye of the United States turns red with envy and desire to exploit. Everywhere where there is gold the US huge muscles twitch and everywhere where there is a revolutionary African leader protecting African interests, the US regime change antics make it drool.

The US has become the self-styled world policeman, with tentacles spreading all over the world in a dangerous and cruel, plunder game that involves military escapades. Africa is the centre and future ground of natural resources’ exploitation because it still remains largely untapped and wild.
