Today we talk to former US Congresswoman and presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney about AFRICOM, the US military’s African Command, and its ostensible mandate to foster “security cooperation” between the US and Africa. We discuss what AFRICOM is really designed to do and look at the example of the US’ recent military intervention in Libya against Gaddafi, a vocal dissenter against AFRICOM’s designs on the continent.
