America's Energy Wars - A New Front - Africa Lloyd Hart, Indymedia UK With the U.S. military announcing this week that it is opening up what it is calling The Africa Command the military industrial complex in the U.S. and Europe is revealing its new front in it's latest round of the resources wars it is conducting under the guise of the War On Terror. This new front is no different than the invasion of Iraq's oil fields other than fact that the energy the U.S. is after is contained in several nations and makes up a complex energy (oil and natural gas) corridor that travels through a series of traditional ethnic territories in each of the following named nations. This far reaching energy corridor runs from Somalia through Ethiopia, southern Sudan, the Darfur region of Sudan and into Chad. Along this energy corridor are vast reserves of oil and natural gas from oil rich Chad to the natural gas rich Darfur to Sudan's largest oil reserves located in the southern region of that nation to Ethiopia's oil rich eastern region. From what I've been able to ascertain from research and e-mail communications with sources on the ground is that the U.S. is leading a mostly military proxy based series of actions with limited direct action (in a mostly military train and air support role) under the guise of the War On Terror but clearly in the interest of securing some of Africa's largest proven and developed energy reserves.
