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.

Region representative of WILPF, will speak about

Republic of the Congo; Christine Odera,

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.
