africom: Why the US is establishing military bases in Africa +

A report from the Washington post has stated the US military have established small air bases in Africa to keep surveillance on some African regions they consider to be a threat from 'Al Qaeda'. Along with air bases there are also trained army personnel. The operations that take place here are controlled by the US special operations forces but have a significantly large dependence on private military contractors.

The bases are in Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda, South Sudan, Kenya, and Seychelles. Many experts believe that the special operation forces which have played a massive role in the Obama administrations national security strategy are working all over the globe and not just in war zones which bring in to question what the real motives are.
