Slowly the capitalist leading media sources are reporting more US military involvements in Africa. Last month we learned from Al Jazeera that US had inserted combat troops in Africa for "training and exercises". Unfortunately, this source has continued to degenerate due to the influence of the Emir of Qatar which is very much a part of the Empire. This is the way they covered this event:
Already US special forces have begun providing training and logistical support to Ugandan soldiers hunting Joseph Kony, leader of the Lords Resistance Army.
Military advisers are also in Uganda to draw lessons learned from Iraq and Afghanistan to help train African Union soldiers to fight Somalia's al-Shabab group.In this article from a primary ruling class source, it predictably frames the incursion this way to keep the American public in ignorance about their true intentions:
In another effort to combat al-Qaeda militants in Africa, specifically in Somalia, the United States has been training troops from other African nations to be peacekeepers.It seems like more than a coincidence that the phony internet campaign featuring the film "Kony 2012" was launched earlier this year. One can easily imagine the Empire's political operatives deciding last year that the US public needed more preparation for stepped up military operations that they were planning for Africa.
