From the article:

The reintroduction of the U.S. military (AFRICOM ) on the ground is related to a dispute between Somalia and the U.S. oil company, Coastline Exploration Ltd, over the validity of an oil exploration agreement. It is also a signal that the U.S. wants to both reassert its presence in the oil-rich and strategic region, and to directly target its long-time foe, Eritrea.

Liberals will try to make it sound like we’re “squalling” about a “piddly number of troops”-- make no mistake; this is about what America has always been raping and pillaging Africa for. Resource theft.
