- "In
Africa, US looks beyond Liberia: Continent's
many failed states attract attention as security risks loom." ... "As a
US military commander heads into Liberia to help stabilize its war-torn
capital, it won't be the first time American forces have carried out new
operations in Africa lately." ... "On the continent's east coast, a US
antiterror base in Djibouti recently expanded to include some 2,000 troops.
In northwest desert nations such as Mali, US advisers have given all-terrain
vehicles and special-operations training to military and police units."

"U.S.
Turns Horn of Africa Into a Military Hub." ... "For
the first time since American troops withdrew from Somalia after a bloody
firefight in the streets of Mogadishu, the United States military is rebuilding
its combat power in the Horn of Africa." ... "The main goal this time is
to put American forces in position to strike cells of Al Qaeda in Yemen
or East Africa. But the Pentagon has also begun to use Djibouti to train
its forces in desert warfare — skills that could be applied in Washington's
campaign against terrorist groups or on the battlefields of Iraq." ...
"France, which had colonized Djibouti (pronounced ji-BOOT-e) before it
became independent in 1977, still maintains a force of 2,800 strong here.
Djibouti, in fact, is France's largest foreign military base." ... "The
Central Intelligence Agency is flying classified missions from an airfield
in Djibouti using the Predator, an pilotless drone equipped with Hellfire
missiles, according to Western officers." (1, 2,
