Russia Today - June 27, 2013
US President Barack Obama began his African tour in a bid to
strengthen ties and investment opportunities. But experts say the task
might prove difficult as China already has significant influence in the
region and US is forced to play catch-up.
Obama arrived in Senegal on Wednesday and is also set to visit
South Africa and Tanzania.
The president’s tour is happening as US is taking on a bigger
military role in Africa, RT’s Gayane Chichakyan reported.
“We hear about new drone bases popping up on the African
continent in countries whose governments receive aid from the US
in one form or another. We hear US arming and training US
security forces in a number of states in Africa, then we learn
how some of those forces commit horrible atrocities and yet the
US does not stop to take a second to look who they empower,”
Chichakyan said.
Just a few recent examples of US-backed violence include, a UN
report about US trained troops in Congo guilty of mass rape and
other atrocities and a Human Rights Watch report documenting
abuse, rape and torture of at least 1,000 Somali refugees by
US-backed Kenyan police forces.
