This imperialist project was the first full operation of the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) founded three years earlier in 2008. Over the course of the last decade, Libya has become a source of conflict and instability throughout North and West Africa. Col. Doumbouya, as has Col. Goita, openly defied the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which had imposed sanctions in conjunction with the AU. The U.S. cannot afford a politically independent government in Egypt, which is a gateway to the rest of Africa, West Asia and Southern Europe. Any talks related to achieving stability in the Horn of Africa, West Africa and other regions must consider the destabilizing effect of imperialist militarism.
