Ironically today is Nigerian Independence Day.

Right now the U.S. military is training the Nigerian military and setting up numerous military bases to further U.S. economic interest on the continent. This program was expanded rapidly under Obama administration.

Can a country who’s elite is complicit to the exploitation and looting of their resources be independent?

What does Independence mean when the U.S. is directing the Nigerian military to expand its’ economic interest?

October 1, 1960, Nigerian “won” independence from the British government.

October 1,2008, AFRICOM was established to use U.S. military power to impose U.S. control of African land, resources and labor to service the needs of U.S. multi-national corporations/rich

From @Blacks4Peace

When AFRICOM was established months before Barack Obama assumed office as the first Black President of the , majority of African nations—led by the Pan-Africanist government of Libya—rejected AFRICOM, forcing the new command to instead work out of Europe.

But with the U.S. and NATO attack on Libya that led to the destruction of that country and the murder of its leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, corrupt African leaders began to allow AFRICOM forces to operate in their countries and establish military-to-military relations w/ the U.S

Today, those efforts have resulted in 46 various forms of U.S. bases as well as military-to-military relations between 53 out of the 54 African countries and the United States. U.S. Special Forces troops now operate in more than a dozen African nations. #ShutDownAFRICOM

As long as Africa is in chains, no Black person is free. We must connect our struggles united against imperialism. The U.S. wealth is built off the backs of Africans globally and our resources. http://hoodcommunist.org/2020/10/01/focus-on-africa/ #ShutdownAFRICOM
