Civil Wars

Sudan’s War, UAE Gold, And The Rise Of Anti-Imperialist Alliances

Even as the U.S. empire’s gaze is turned towards Venezuela, it continues to meddle in Africa. Foreign intervention is fueling a bitter civil war in Sudan, the Trump administration is pushing a line about a genocide against Christians in Nigeria, with an eye on military intervention, and across the Sahel region, anti-imperialist forces continue to rise and organize, dreaming of a united, pan-African continent that will resist American imperialism and reject Israeli colonization. Joining MintCast host Mnar Adley today to talk about the continent is Ahmed Kaballo. Ahmed is a British-Sudanese journalist and the CEO and co-founder of African Stream, a media outlet shut down by the U.S. government for publishing inconvenient truths.

Foreign Intervention In Civil Wars: 100X More When There Is Oil

“After a rigorous and systematic analysis, we found that the role of economic incentives emerges as a key factor in intervention,” said co-author Dr Vincenzo Bove, of the University of Warwick. “Before the Isis forces approached the oil-rich Kurdish north of Iraq, Isis was barely mentioned in the news. But once Isis got near oil fields, the siege of Kobani in Syria became a headline and the US sent drones to strike Isis targets,” he added. [The study] found that the decision to intervene was dominated by the third-party’s need for oil, far more than historical, geographic or ethnic ties. The US maintains troops in Persian Gulf oil producers and has a history of supporting conservative autocratic states… David Cameron was instrumental in setting up the coalition that intervened in Muammar Gaddafi’s Libya in 2011, a country with sizeable oil reserves.
