In North Africa and Ukraine, April has not been a good month for the American Empire. It’s yet to be seen if al-Bashir’s ouster will be a gain or loss for America’s military excursions in Africa. Things have been so bad that aid organizations and journalists have documented actual slave auctions in the North African country. Although Hifter’s military reportedly controls much of Libya’s oil production, his attempt to take Tripoli has not gone smoothly. Regardless, Poroshenko’s loss is at least in part a rebuke of the 2014 U.S.-led coup in Ukraine and was likely not good news for those pushing America’s imperialistic foreign policy.
