Most African nations explicitly refused to host Africom bases for Africa Command, because they believed that they were more threatened by CIA bribery and assassination of political leadership rather than protected from external enemies. Why voluntarily submit for occupation by war criminals who bribe and assassinate leaders and political organizations? Calling Africom a single base in Djibouti saves face for latin-american death-squadder kidnapper torturers, assassins of previous African leaders who were determined by the people, backers of Israeli apartheid, and exporters of FEMA Katrina and DC public schools. Yankee Go Home and fix New Orleans and DC!
