The world must observe military states, from Ethiopia to South Africa. It's all about US/EU interests. Soldiers deployed, ask why? To protect western business interests, under threat for obvious reasons.

The US has started new conflicts in Africa after a defeat in Afghanistan. Let's see if Africa won't be another setback for US military.

That's what happens when you put an AK47 into an uncivilised man's hands.
