America’s Imperial Footprint in Africa

Click here to access a 25:24m interview with Eric Draitser originating from WBAI, a listener sponsored radio station in New York.

In this interview Draitser provides an excellent overview primarily of US military involvement in Africa to check China's influence in the continent. Maybe not so coincidentally with this involvement there has been a rise in terrorist activity resulting in chaos and destabilization of existing governments. He also contrasts China's infrastructure investment programs with loans from US based investment agencies that often result in unpayable sovereign debts.
