AFRICOM's Intentions Come Under Scrutiny

The United States Africa command, AFRICOM, which was set up to promote U.S.
National Security objectives in Africa, has now begun its operations
from a military base in Germany. The command's headquarters will move
to Africa next year. The Pentagon claims that the primary focus of
AFRICOM will be humanitarian, but some say the command's goals are
actually related to protecting U-S oil interests there. And most
African states are skeptical at best. Critics agree that AFRICOM will
protect US military and economic interests, but they also say the
command will have negative consequences for the continent.
