Greetings,
US seeking to recolonize African countries: Analyst
The US government’s secret drone activities in Africa are part of Washington’s scheme to recolonize the resourceful continent, says an American activist and political analyst.
Joe Iosbaker, a member of the United National Antiwar Committee, made the comments in reaction to reports that have exposed the expansion of an American drone base in Djibouti, a country located at the Horn of Africa.

Satellite images available on the online mapping service, Google Earth, along with documents by the US Defense Department show that the Pentagon has turned the Chabelley Airfield in Djibouti into a hive of high-tech military equipment.
The airfield allows US drones to fly over Yemen, southwest Saudi Arabia, a large part of Somalia, and parts of Ethiopia and southern Egypt, according to experts in analyzing satellite imagery.
Iosbaker told Press TV that Africa is one of the fronts to Washington’s “drone war,” which has left behind a large number of civilian casualties.
“But it doesn’t matter to Washington, because the imperialists are trying to recolonize Africa,” the analyst added.
“Increasingly, the Western imperialist powers have directly intervened in Africa. In coming years, it is expected that a massive oil boom will arrive in many African countries. Africa has huge mineral reserves, including copper, bauxite and uranium,” he said.
Elsewhere in his comments, the analyst noted that Washington is moving to boost its control over key shipping and communication lines in the region, for example those that pass by the Horn of Africa.
“Exposure of this secret murderous drone war, it can only help us in the anti-war movement as we continue our work to try to end the US endless war,” he concluded….More Here
