US say Africa is new Epicenter of Global Terrorism
A quiet announcement with a massive impact
Don’t say we didn’t see this coming.
General Michael Langley of U.S. AFRICOM just made it official: Africa is now the epicentre of global terrorism.
Not Afghanistan. Not Iraq. Not Syria.
Africa.
This is the same General Langley who accused Captain Ibrahim Traoré of stealing gold from his own people, as if African nations don’t have the right to fund their defense like every Western nation does. That smear was never about truth. It was about laying the groundwork for a narrative. And now the real purpose is unfolding.
Because when you brand a region as a global threat, you justify military action.
And when you throw in vague warnings about “attacks being planned against the U.S.” you’re not just playing with propaganda. You’re playing with matches.
We’ve seen this before.
Label the target.
Fuel the fear.
Trigger a “response.”
It happened with Iraq, weapons of mass destruction that didn’t exist.
It happened with Libya, the humanitarian excuse that led to open-air slave markets.
Now, it’s happening again with the Sahel.
Why now? Isn’t it obvious Alkebulanians?
Why Burkina Faso? Why Niger? Why Mali?
Because those are the three countries that kicked out France, rejected neocolonial control, and formed the Sahel Alliance, the most Pan-African geopolitical move in decades. And now, like clockwork, the West is branding them a terror threat.
AFRICOM Isn’t Here to Help
AFRICOM was sold as a stabilizing force. But in every country it touches, the violence increases.
More coups. More instability. More foreign military bases.
If AFRICOM really existed to fight terrorism, it would’ve succeeded by now. Instead, the “threat” only grows just enough to justify more intervention.
The real concern now is that Langley’s statement isn’t just words. It’s a policy trigger. It’s the kind of talk that gives green lights to drone strikes, sanctions, and regime change. And when the Western media starts echoing this label, it’s game on.
What Comes Next
We are in the midst of narrative warfare.
The U.S. needs a new “enemy” after two decades in the Middle East which have solved none of the unrest they said they went in there to resolve.
And Africa rich, resourceful, and rising is now the target.
But this time, we’re watching.
I will be continuing my thoughts on this next week with
The Terror Threat in the Sahel Doesn’t Add Up
PAY ATTENTION
The whole of Africa!!!! To be expected.
quintessential case of projection but ok
