What is the intention of the United States to increase the military intervention of Africa?
Author:Guangming Daily Time:2022.07.03
Recently, according to Somalia, the U.S. military and the Somali government co -operated with the "Youth Party" militants in remote areas in the southern So Somali. This is the first air strike that the United States announced its rebuilding after the "small -scale continuous military existence". The air strikes died of five militants without civilian casualties.
The Biden government has recently increased its military deployment of Africa. On April 25, Peter Bailey, deputy minister of the U.S. African Command strategy, participation and planning department, met with Zambian President Hariende Chicorma. After the meeting, the US government announced that the U.S. African Command will open a security cooperation offices in Zambia. On May 16th, President Biden signed an administrative order to approve the deployment of special combat forces with no more than 500 in Somali, Africa, Eastern Africa. In addition, Biden also approved a request from the Ministry of National Defense to give the latter long -term authorization to combat a dozen suspicious leaders of the "Youth Party" with the "base" organization. The move changed the decision to withdraw from the U.S. forces in Somalia in December 2020. The Biden government has increased its strategic purposes for African military deployment.
Increasing the African military intervention is an important part of the "competition with China" strategy. As of last year, China has maintained the status of Africa's largest trading partner for 12 consecutive years. China's positive contributions to African countries in infrastructure construction and promotion of local employment have been welcomed and highly praised by the African people. However, this makes some American people who are persistent in their global hegemony. Stephen Thomson, commander of the US African Command recently stepped down, has repeatedly claimed that China is constantly seeking the strategic potential of Africa and challenging the US national security and stability. "As the primary task, the United States needs to prevent China from expanding the influence along the African coast." He also said that at present, the African Command has only obtained 0.3%of the US Department of Defense's operating budget and human costs. In order to further curb the influence of China and Russia in Africa, the United States needs to increase investment. Thomson's point of view has certain representativeness within the Pentagon. Based on this, the African strategy in the United States has made adjustments. Since ruling, the Biden government has attached great importance to attracting Africa through diplomacy and other means, but the effect is not obvious. Especially on the issue of Russia and Ukraine's conflict, the majority of Africa's neutral positions have frustrated the Bayeng government. The Bayeng government believes that only by holding the security of African countries tightly can we increase their control over African countries and curb China's improvement in non -influence. The Bayeng government has increased the non -military investment in non -military, which can be described as "Xiangzhuang dance swords, intended to Pei Gong"!
"Escort" for the United States and ND economic cooperation. In recent years, with the rapid development of the African mainland economy, the US government has attached great importance to the African market. The Trump administration proposed the "Prosperous African Initiative" to double the scale of bilateral trade and investment within five years. "Initiative" provides mixed financing, loan guarantees, market intelligence, publicity, and a series of services to reduce venture capital to help American companies enter Africa. Since Biden ruling in power, the United States has proposed to revive the "prosperous African initiative", expand trade and investment in African countries, and lists democratic values and respect for human rights as the core of contact with Africa. In March 2021, the US Senate passed the "Through Increasing Exports to Africa and Increase Opportunities for Employment". The bill pointed out that a comprehensive strategy is needed to increase the US commodity and service export value of Africa at least 200%in the next ten years to create employment opportunities for the United States. In order to further mobilize private capital to enter Africa, in June 2021, the United States proposed the "rebuilding a better world plan" (referred to as B3W) to increase investment in developing countries such as Africa. Although the US government has made its best solutions, due to security and other factors, American companies have always been interested in investing in Africa. The Biden government's increase in military investment this time is to provide confidence for American companies to enter Africa. For example, the United States is discussing a free trade agreement with Kenya, but due to factors such as Somalia's "Youth Party" attacks, Menkeeper economic and trade cooperation is affected. By increasing the military deployment of Somali, the United States can inject certainty cooperation in Merrust. For another example, Zambia is one of the main copper countries in the world, and copper plays a vital role in the transformation of the clean energy economy. The United States expands the Command to Zambia, helping the United States to protect its supply chain security.
By increasing support for non -anti -terrorism, it is a reputation crisis caused by his withdrawal Afghanistan. The core security cooperation with counter -terrorism as the core has always been one of the core contents of the United States and Africa. Since the "September 11" incident, the U.S. military has established a huge outpost network in more than a dozen African countries and regions. Among them, the US military bases in the Sahele and Africa are the most concentrated. At present, the U.S. African Command is contacted with 53 African countries and is responsible for supporting about 9,000 U.S. soldiers stationed in Africa and at least 27 military bases. It should be said that in the field of security, African countries have strong dependence on the West. However, during the Trump administration, the United States and the West contracted the security investment in Africa, causing African countries to intensify the trust of the United States and the West. Coupled with the terrorist forces in the Sahele area, the epidemic was large and raged, while the United States wested at this moment to watch the fire from the shore, and the relevant African countries were harmed. The U.S. military urged to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, causing huge chaos and international condemnation, so that African countries continued to support their counter -terrorism in the United States. The return of the US military to Soviet states that the crisis faced was still the "worthy priority" of the Bayeng government, and the continuous existence of the US military in the Soviet country was necessary to crack down on the "youth party". The day before Biden signed the order, Somalia elected a new president. The United States announced the increase in the garrison of the Soviet Union the next day, reflecting the efforts of the United States to revitalize Africa's confidence in beauty. The newly elected President Mahamid welcomes Biden's new measures, saying that the United States is a reliable partner for the Sofeland to seek stability and cracking down on terrorism. It is not a gospel for Africa to increase military intervention. The first is to force the "big country competition" to Africa, or cause the new round of Africa's differentiation and turbulence. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union fought, and Africa suffered. The United States and the Soviet Union were competing for the scope of forces, leading to Angola Civil War and Civil War, all of which eventually caused international wars and caused huge casualties. Africans still remember this. Today, the Bayeng government has increased its military deployment from the so -called "conducting comprehensive strategic competition against China" and tried to turn Africa into a large country's arena. Confrontation caused Africa to become turbulent. The second is that the US military's involvement will exacerbate the dilemma of African counter -terrorism "more and more terrorism." Since the 21st century, the United States has provided suggestions and assistance to local troops through regular deployment of assault teams, and provides anti -terrorism in African countries such as weapons and equipment in battles. But "the more opposite the more fear" is an indisputable fact. According to data from the African Center of the US Department of Defense, the terrorist incident of the entire African continent increased from 288 in 2009 to 5,500 in 2021, an increase of more than 1800%. The frequent launching coup in Africa in Africa has led to the turbulent situation in the region. As the comments point out, the purpose of the United States is not to combat terrorism, but to generate endless killing loops with teeth. Third, the U.S. military increased its intervention, which will further increase the control of African countries and destroy the path of independent development of African countries. Due to the flood of terrorism and the frequency of coup, the security bureau in Africa in recent years is not optimistic. The Russian and Ukraine conflict further blocked Russia's international operation capabilities in Africa. The United States takes the opportunity to increase involvement in Africa, which is likely that Africa will further fall to the United States in terms of security and eventually fall into a trap that is difficult to extricate.
