Chinese and Russian Military In Africa - Are America and Allies Asleep at the Switch

Chinese and Russian Military In Africa - Are America and Allies Asleep at the Switch

https://www.defenseworld.net/news/27582?mc_cid=2caf97519f&mc_eid=b9d121e570#.Xzxmy81lD5f

Countering Russian and Chinese military bases and planed bases in Africa are issues that have been allowed to fester for too long without appropriate American and Allied response.

The existing Chinese military bases on the Red Sea are known to be supporting the Houthi Rebels in Yemen. There are planned Russian military bases on the Red Sea, the Mediterranean and Western Indian Ocean. Together the Chinese and Russians may soon have a strangle hold on shipping traffic, et al. via the Suez Canal and beyond.

Shortly after 9/11/2001 DoD intelligence verified that the Chinese were major financiers and providing technical expertise to Al Qaeda and other global Islamic extremist terrorists. Russian involvement with various Islamic extremist groups in Syria, Dagestan, Afghanistan and North Africa are also problematic.

The recent ISIS/Da'esh seizure of a strategic Mozambique port (See Link Below) further emphasize that America and their Allies are playing catch-up in Africa.

Will America and her Allies once again wait until the stakes are too high which may lead to serious military actions across Africa or will the necessary and appropriate actions be taken now before it is too late?

 Time and History will be the Judge.


I think everyone is so concerned about their own agenda and confused about the global impact.

Asleep is an understatement, more like a deep coma! Just about every area Civil Solutions International has work on the continent has either Chinese / Russian influence.

* Historical Note:? In September of 2001 several days after the 9/11Al Qaeda attacks on America, DoD verified intelligence that China knew about the 9/11/2001 attacks before hand. The Chinese were publicly Bragging about this on among other China Television stations the English language CCTV 9 the CPC propaganda network. ?Chinese Diplomats that were in D.C. during the attacks on America were boasting to interviewer Wang.? Among other public statements by Chinese Officials was that on the morning of 9/11 the 105 mainland Chinese employees working in the WTC Towers #1 & #2 (wink, wink) "For some strange reason none of them showed up for work that morning?!? Ha, ha, ha"These and other publicly stated facts by other Chinese Officials confirmed that the PRC had knowingly moved their mainland Chinese Personnel in America out of harms way the morning of the 9/11 attacks. Once verified the G.W. Bush Administration took action.President Bush in a Television address declared on behalf of America:"?? "We will go after Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda and any other Non-Arab or Non-Muslim country that may have assisted or knew about the attacks before hand. And the Nuclear Option is Not off of the table!" ~ President George W. Bush September 2001.* Note: Additionally refer to the NEWSWEEK East Asia Edition late 2001 or early 2002 in a feature article:??" After the Afghanistan Battle of Tora Bora when Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda Leadership's escaped" NEWSWEEK reported that "Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda 19 Lieutenants relocated to Western China's Muslim Uighur region."?The NEWSWEEK article even supplied the name of the PLA Hospital where bin Laden was receiving medical treatments. The article revealed that his 19 Lieutenants were receiving Reconstructive (Plastic) surgery to then accordingly to the Correspondent be reinserted into Pakistan and Afghanistan.???That time the Chinese Government didn't even choose to object to the NEWSWEEK article. Seems the "5 Eyes" had the Chinese and PLA dead to rights.Please do your own research Video and Open Source to concur.

We have been asleep for years now. Presidents of several African countries have reached out and said look and see what is happening. But we no longer have a proper world view. The only damn thing that seems to concern our country is illegal immigration and some fools believing that Russia is out friends!
