Kony2012: More soldiers going to Africa

Famous Kony2012 campaign seems to inspire public opinion and make it to force Western governments to interfere in Uganda.

Whole campaign looks as a big manipulation prepared to legitimize several Western governments to take control over mineral-rich part of African continent. This immediate rise of compasion to local children looks grotesque when we consider the fact, that similar events took place during other wars in region (Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Rwanda, Kongo) where USA were involved. 

Even if Kony2012 campaign was initiated more than 3 weeks ago, Pentagon had already informed that American marines will be sent to Uganda to train local soldiers. According to Michel Chossudovsky from Global Research.ca after the training Ugandian army will be fighting Kony and para-militant group Al-Shabaad ("The Youth") of Somalia. 

Mayor Charles Baker, marines spokesperson had stated that: "“The genesis of this mission was operations in Mogadishu, Somalia, where African Union peacekeepers experienced IEDs (improvised explosive devices) and other complex obstacles, which exposed them to ambushes by al Shabaab,"

It looks that the campaign is just a preparation, a pretext for much bigger action, as a result of which control over this part of Africa will be taken.

Great arming in Africa's Corner

Google Maps is a great tool to be used in the intelligence activity. I wouldn't be suprised if even some states' agencies are using it against in spying.

DefenseTech journalists had noticed recently, that something has changed in the US Army base Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti.

They have recognized full arsenal of many different military vehicles: powerful Hercules transporters as well as battle drones station. It is the largest quantity of such devices in whole Africa!

It can be a sign, the United States are getting more interested in Africa, especially when we consider the influence of China in many African countries.
