*[Enwl-eng] Why is US military in Africa?

[ENWL]

                        Did you know that the U.S. military has 29 military 
bases in 15 countries across Africa? The U.S. military established AFRICOM 
in 2008, despite the majority of African nations rejecting it. Under a false 
guise of providing security, the U.S. uses its military force to impose 
control of African land, resources, and labor to serve the needs of U.S. 
multi-national corporations.

                        On December 4 at 2:00pm Eastern Time (GMT-5), we'll 
be co-hosting a webinar on AFRICOM and Human Rights in Africa, featuring 
first-hand reports about AFRICOM's impact.


                        What: Free Webinar: AFRICOM & Human Rights in Africa
                        When: Friday, December 4 at 11:00AM PT / 2:00PM ET / 
7:00PM Nigeria Time

                        Joy Onyesoh, the President of WILPF International, 
will speak about Nigeria; Sylvie Ndongmo, the Africa Region representative 
of WILPF, will speak about Cameroon; Marie-Claire Faray, currently living in 
the UK, will speak about the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Christine 
Odera, Commonwealth Youth Peace Ambassador Network - Kenya Country 
Coordinator (CYPAN), will speak about Kenya; writer and author Margaret 
Kimberley, representing the Black Alliance for Peace, will explain their 
initiative: Out of Africa: Shut Down AFRICOM; and investigative journalist 
Amanda Sperber will report on Somalia.

                        Currently, there is very little discussion or 
reporting on the U.S. military's presence in Africa and its detrimental 
impact. We need to shine a light on the alarming militarization of Africa 
and what we can do to reverse it. On December 4, join us for what will be an 
eye-opening, fact-filled webinar about what the U.S. military is really 
doing in Africa.

                        See you on Zoom,
