Strategic and economic interests have always driven the US policy in the Horn of Africa. During the Cold War, the US was fixated on the 'containment of communism', committing grave historical errors and crimes against humanity in the process.
And now, America 's blind quest for global dominance is turning the world we live in upside down with chaos and destruction. Indeed, post Cold War US policy, after 9/11 especially, has been about ensuring the gradual disintegration of target states by creating what they call 'constructive instability', using pretexts (fabrications), as witnessed in Iraq and Somalia. This brief article intends to highlight the fact that the US has until now been a destabilizing force in the volatile Horn region. There are certain issues that some Western scientists consider critical to surviving the 21st century, and thus have long been pressurizing their political leaders to take those issues into consideration in adopting and implementing their policies. Accordingly, the 'global concerns of our time' are to include:
Since 9/11, the Bush Administration has been using the so-called 'global concerns of our time' as pretexts for controlling target regions as part of its grand design of creating a 'global empire'. Indeed, using 'global concerns' such as WMD and terrorism as pretexts, the US has been creating what they call 'constructive instability' like the ones witnessed in Iraq and Somalia, to enable them to easily plunder the resources of target nations and at the same time to bring about a reduction in what the Western scientists consider an 'alarmingly growing population of our planet Earth' as well as the eventual disintegration of target nations, thus enabling the US to rearrange target nations in the way that would 'sustainably' benefit the US at the expense of certain 'targeted populations'. And should the 'victims' of such 'terrorist' and ‘diabolic’ acts rise up to free themselves from being 'terrorized' and 'dehumanized' or should another nation attempts to help the 'victims' in any way, then they would automatically be labelled 'terrorists' and the 'good Samaritan' would risk being enlisted in what they call 'state sponsor of terrorism'. In light of this, it is no surprising for this rather dangerous path the US has been treading to become the number one global concern of our time, including to those conscious Americans. Indeed, surviving the 21st century would require America to review and reverse its rather 'diabolic' strategy of 'global dominance', and to work instead for the good of all humanity.
Indeed in an attempt to frustrate the relative peace and the budding hope for national reconstitution the Islamic Courts had managed to bring about after years of bloodshed, the servant regime in Addis with substantial US help invaded Somalia on the pretext of fighting terrorism, turning Somalia into the worst humanitarian disaster spot in the world. And in an attempt to subjugate the people and Government of Eritrea, the US has, among other things, been working hard to enlist the peace-loving and law-abiding nation on what they call 'state sponsor of terrorism', apparently for creating a conducive environment for the Somali people to resolve their issues themselves without external interference. As a 'genuine' victim of 'real' terrorism since its birth as a new nation, young Eritrea fully knows that you do not play with fire. Indeed, Eritrea 's principled stance on terrorism has been critical in keeping the Horn and its surrounding from slipping into chaos. Very sadly, however, blinded by its quest for global dominance, America's short-sighted and rather infantile handling of sensitive issues as well as its undermining of the delicate balance principled Eritrea has managed and still attempts to maintain, could potentially transform the Horn region and its surrounding into utter chaos. And very sadly again, the US policy in the Horn region is designed to bring about just that!
>> Mass Murder in the Horn of Africa - By a US ally, of course... For an up to date ‘rewards’ and ‘punishment’ for being willing or unwilling to cooperate with the US in its task of ‘destabilising’ the Horn region, please refer to the ‘testimonies’ given by ‘certain’ US officials to the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Subcommittee on African Affairs. >> Frazer's Encore During Tuesday's Senate Hearing >> U.S. Senator Russ Feingold Statement: “Evaluating U.S. Policy Options on the Horn of Africa” It is a shame that the international community lacks integrity and the courage of its convictions. The international community needs to wake up from its deep slumber and take concrete action to end immediately the heinous crimes against humanity it has allowed in the Horn for so long. And that would require, among other things,
In brief, Eritrea is not a state sponsor of terrorism. Such a label is, of course, a rather fitting tribute to the destabilising role the US has been playing in the Horn region through its servant and 'terrorist' regime in Addis. As for principled Eritrea , it has been and shall continue to be a bulwark against terrorism.
