When US National Security Advisor John
Bolton unveiled the new United States plan for Africa last December, few
in Congress knew the closely guarded secrets of the plan that was
already in progress for almost a year. The journalists, African
dignitaries, US government officials, and political groupies in
attendance at the Heritage Foundation event built around the
announcement were “enlightened” on Donald Trump’s plans for
recolonization of Africa.
The Africa policy Bolton revealed
the essence of Donald Trump’s mission to assist in the final solution
for underdeveloped nations worldwide. Trump’s “American First” campaign
promise was the wakeup call to Africa and other continents, a call to
pay attention to renewed American aggression. The National Security
Advisor, making a speech on policy the Secretary of State should
probably have made, warned all in attendance at the event:
“The United States will no longer provide indiscriminate assistance across the entire continent, without focus or prioritization… From now on, the United States will not tolerate this longstanding pattern of aid without effect, assistance without accountability, and relief without reform.”
Bolton went on to proclaim China and
Russia as American adversaries on the continent, condemning them for
“rapidly expanding their financial and political influence across
Africa.” Trump’s right-hand man on dirty dealings around the globe
called China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) “predatory practice,” as a
stunned audience looked on. The core of his statements are stunningly
honest and clear:
“We want something more to show for Americans’ hard-earned taxpayer dollars.”
And that “something” is not in the best interests of the people of Africa, as anyone who’s studied Anglo-European meddling in African affairs
can attest. Trump’s Africa plan is more or less the same as all
previous US presidents, even though he and Bolton pretend this
imperialism is something new. Bolton slung daggers at China for holding
debt in Africa, when it is the Paris Club
led by Americans that has most African nations over a debt barrel. The
United States, Britain, Germany, Netherlands, and France are robbing
African nations like the Sherriff of Nottingham, and there’s no Robin
Hood in sight. In Bolton’s statements issued by the White House, we
find:
“China uses bribes, opaque agreements, and the strategic use of debt to hold states in Africa captive to Beijing’s wishes and demands. Its investment ventures are riddled with corruption and do not meet the same environmental or ethical standards as U.S. developmental programs.”............https://journal-neo.org/2019/01/29/the-new-plan-for-africa-is-just-like-the-old-imperial-one/
