The Truth About AFRICOM: Control, Not Security
#1
They say AFRICOM (U.S. Africa Command) is about “stability,” “partnership,” and “security.”
But let’s call it what it really is: a foreign military footprint on African soil.

1. AFRICOM was launched in 2007, promising to “support African solutions to African problems.”

2. Today, it operates in at least 34 African countries — with bases, drone hubs, and intelligence outposts across the continent.

3. The goal? Access to Africa’s oil, gold, cobalt, uranium, rare earths, trade routes, data, and influence.

4. Since AFRICOM’s arrival, terror attacks in Africa have risen by over 1,000%.

5. The Sahel is burning, Somalia is bleeding, Mali and Burkina Faso are spiraling.

6. The U.S. response: more drone strikes, more weapons, more training missions.

7. And when African nations resist, they are sanctioned, isolated, and labeled as “juntas.”

   
Ask yourself:

Why are there zero African military bases in the U.S.?

Why don’t African nations run “commands” in Europe?

Because it would never be allowed. So why do we allow it here?

The truth:

AFRICOM is not a partnership. It is an occupation.

It creates military dependence.

It spies on us.

It drags Africa into wars we did not choose.

And most Africans don’t even know AFRICOM exists — because it’s kept out of our schools and media.


The way forward:

1. Say no to foreign bases.

2. Say no to proxy wars.

3. Say no to being pawns in someone else’s chess game.

4. Build AFRICANCOM — a Pan-African defense alliance, by us, for us.

You cannot be free if someone else controls your guns.
You cannot be sovereign with foreign troops on your soil.

AFRICOM is not security. It is submission.
And Africa has bowed long enough.

You’re saying what many of us have been thinking. AFRICOM was sold as “partnership” but looks like occupation.

Without AFRICOM, some governments would collapse overnight. Like it or not, a lot of African militaries rely on U.S. support.

I'm not saying I support them 100%

Terror attacks rising by 1,000% since 2007 is a chilling stat. We need to ask why the “war on terror” keeps making terror worse.

Let’s be honest. AFRICOM is about resources and influence. They call it “security,” but follow the oil, the cobalt, the uranium.

Some of you think it’s occupation. I see it as insurance. Without foreign support, groups like Al Shabaab would overrun entire regions.

@Huntee. Insurance with strings attached. Once they’re in, they don’t leave.

We Africans are too used to outsiders “helping.” We’ve forgotten how to defend ourselves. Bad leadership and followership

People forget China is also building bases. Not just the U.S. We’re being courted by all sides ?

Wonderful replies. Tnks.

You can’t be free if someone else controls your guns. AFRICOM is a symptom. Our lack of unity is the disease.
