Al Jazeera special report exposing the contradictions of U.S. foreign policy in Uganda including link between U.S training and funding of special forces for Museveni and other dictators at the expense of development and human rights in Africa, in America’s pursuit of OIL, MINERALS and INFLUENCE.
YOU HAVE TO WATCH the on-camera reaction of the AFRICOM commander, Gen. William “Kip” Ward, when asked about this (7:56 into the video).
Segment about Uganda runs after that reaction
The first 5 minutes and a half are about Nigeria and Cameroon.
Some of the world’s poorest countries are also some of the richest in natural resources, among them Nigeria, Angola or the Democratic Republic of Congo, as they suffer from the “resource curse”.
Oxford University’s Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Collier in his Natural Resource Charter states that: “Angola alone received in oil and mineral revenues more than double the entire aid ($26 billion in 2008,) inflows to Africa. For all that, the UN’s Human Development Index ranked Angola 162nd out of 177 countries in 2007-08.”
