proxy wars in Africa and the profiteers


08.10.2014

The more we fight and kill ourselves, the more profit (money) they make so
even as we work very hard to achieve peace and understanding, there are many
up there in the top working extremely hard to make sure there are wars and
even more wars so they can profit from the deaths of untold number of
people. This is the situation in Africa today and that is why every now and
then you hear conflicts, political violence and rumors of war all across the
continent.

Let me begin with a clear example to explain what I am trying to say. Many
of you have heard about Darfur and the deaths of untold number of people
(some say about 500,000 although the true figure is far bigger than that).
However, not so many people know the Sudan conflict was somehow "a proxy
war". Some major countries and corporations outside Africa were making big
money in Sudan while innocent people including tiny little babies were being
butchered like animals. Let's begin with China. Sudan (now 2 countries,
North and South) was/is an oil rich country and the entire economy of Sudan
depended on oil. China was a major buyer of the Sudanese oil and used to pay
cash for the oil.

When the conflict started, China saw that as an opportunity to make even
more profit. The government of North Sudan (with the wicked Al-Bashir as
president) was in total control of all the oil in Sudan. However, because of
the war, the government needed more and more guns and China was more than
ready to exchange guns for oil. So while NGOs and other groups were working
very hard to help save lives in Sudan, China was busy making and supplying
even more guns in exchange for oil and more oil. In other words, the Chinese
firearm companies flourished while hundreds of thousands of people were
dying like flies and the Chinese government was making even more profit out
of it. Russia also had similar evil agenda and joined hands with the Chinese
government to make more profit in Sudan while innocent people were dying
like flies. In other words, China and Russia did not want the conflict to
end because the longer the conflict continued, the more profit they made.

The United States came in to help the "underdogs" or the oil-rich South
Sudan. Greater part of Sudan's oil lies in the South. In other words, South
Sudan is far richer in oil than North Sudan. However, North Sudan had a very
well formed army and all the weapons and support needed to crash South Sudan
(where the opposition forces resided). The United States and some major
countries in Europe therefore decided to help South Sudan. Because of how
the United States came in, it was impossible for them to openly make profit
out of the war like China and Russia were doing so the United States decided
to involve Israel. In other words, Israel came into the war just to work for
America. America was then able to sell guns and other ammunitions to both
the North and South through Israel. Also, The United States knew that after
the war, China because of their evil deeds could not buy oil from the
oil-rich South Sudan which opens up South Sudan's oil market to other major
players (including the United States) and that was why America came
pretending to help.

When I first heard about KONY 2012, I wept and not just because of what
Joseph Kony did over 2 decades ago but because of what the western world was
going to do in Africa in the name of Joseph Kony. Joseph Kony (if he is
still alive) is a very evil man but Joseph Kony did not start his evil deeds
2 years ago. Joseph Kony had been committing these atrocities for more than
2 decades and no western power came in to help. The western world first
mentioned Joseph Kony after the first Ugandan oil discoveries were made
somewhere in 2006. Because the government and the people of Uganda knew the
implications of Joseph Kony coming back to life, the government of Uganda
made it very clear somewhere in 2007 that Joseph Kony had been captured.
Joseph Kony reappeared in 2012 after more oil discoveries were made in
Uganda in 2011 and this time around the United States and friends were more
than ready to send troops to the jungles of Uganda to go capture Joseph
Kony.

This is just an example of how western powers benefit from the deaths of
untold number of people in Africa. They create and sponsor conflicts in
Africa so as to benefit from the blood of the innocent. Almost all the wars
and political conflicts in Africa today are "proxy wars" purposely created
and sponsored by western powers.
