Military Intervention in Africa's Political and Humanitarian Crises
The United States Africa Command, or "AFRICOM," launched by President Bush in 2007, has taken over all U.S military operations in Africa. Supporters say AFRICOM works to prevent military conflict, helping Africa to bolster regional security and rapid crisis response. But skeptics worry AFRICOM could have hidden agendas, or might be a cover for exploitation of the continent's many resources. Join us on Straight Talk Africa for our live, one-hour television and radio call-in simulcast, when guest host Mwamoyo J. Hamza and guests discuss U.S. military involvement in Africa.
Guests:
Daniel Volman Director, African Security Research Project
