Why would they need to do that?
They already have AmeriKa's MSM newspapers.
As I scanned and read theses stories in the Zionist-skewed War Daily, I wonder why the sudden focus on Africa, and why the selection of these stories?
Why the confusing -- dare I say racist -- representations in these pieces, readers?
Makes you think the Africans and blacks are all savages (probably the point), without really explaining how American interests are involved.
One wonders what agent provocateurs America has deployed here.
Is this a ruse to get a base in Africa, what with everyone in the region turning the U.S. down?
I don't know much about Africa and its history, and I question any historical references made by my Zionist controlled War Daily.
So what to do, readers?
You sort it out, if you can:
"Chad coup attempt could alter balance of power in Darfur"
"by Edmund Sanders, Los Angeles Times | February 4, 2008
NAIROBI - As rebels in Chad fought for a second day to take control of the nation's capital, analysts said yesterday the outcome of the attempted coup could have far-reaching implications for the Darfur conflict in neighboring Sudan.
Foreign observers said the military standoff remained unresolved. President Idriss Deby appeared to be holed up with a large force of loyal troops in his presidential palace.
The aid group Doctors Without Borders reported that scores of civilians had been wounded, mostly from errant gunfire. Looting has been reported in N'Djamena, the capital, and the French government evacuated at least 500 foreigners.
Rebels claimed to have seized control of the town of Adre, along the eastern border with Sudan, while Chadian authorities told reporters the attackers had included Sudanese troops and had been repelled. Neither report could not be verified.
A collapse of Deby's regime likely would be felt beyond Chad's borders. Deby has been a big supporter of Darfur rebels in western Sudan. His fall would threaten to tilt the balance of power in Darfur toward the Sudanese government, which is backing the rebel assault in Chad.
"This could be a big win for Sudan," said Reed Brody, special counsel for Human Rights Watch, the international advocacy group. "The rebel alliance will be beholden to Khartoum. They will control one of the main access points and windows into Darfur."
Chad is host to about 250,000 Darfur refugees who fled violence in western Sudan over the past four years. Chad also serves as an important gateway for humanitarian groups, journalists, human rights activists and peacekeepers, many of whom are unable to access Darfur through other areas of Sudan. Specialists said access could be at risk if a Sudan-friendly regime suddenly took control of Chad.
In addition, Darfur rebel groups use Chad as a haven and launching point for attacks against Sudanese government troops.
Deby, who seized control of Chad through a coup in 1990, is from the same Zaghawa tribe as one of the main Darfur rebel movements. His government has supplied Darfur rebels with guns and allowed them to set up training camps along his border.
"If Deby goes, that could be a decisive blow for the Darfurian rebel operations in Chad," said John Prendergast, cofounder of ENOUGH, a grass-roots antigenocide group.
A weakened Darfur rebel movement would complicate mediation talks between the Sudanese government and guerrillas to end a conflict that has killed an estimated 200,000 people and displaced more than 2 million.
"It would shift the strategic balance in Khartoum's favor and make it that much harder to get a [peace] deal," Prendergast said.
Sudan has denied supporting Chadian rebels. Government officials in Khartoum could not be reached for comment yesterday.
But specialists say Sudan played a key role in organizing Chad's disparate groups of bickering rebels into the current coalition, the Union of Forces for Democracy and Development, that is fighting in N'Djamena. Sudanese officials pledged their support for an assault, but only if the rebels united.
"Sudan knocked some heads together and obviously it worked," Brody said.
Unlike a similar 2006 attack on N'Djamena, when small bands of confused rebels got lost on the streets of the capital, the current force is better armed and well organized, specialists said. The rebels are led by disgruntled former officials who defected from Deby's government after he amended the country's constitution to run for another term.
The timing of the rebel attack is believed to be linked to the impending deployment of 3,700 European Union peacekeepers who were being sent on a humanitarian mission to protect refugees in eastern Chad.
The Sudanese government had pressured Deby to resist the international deployment, but instead he said he would accept the troops. EU officials announced Saturday that the mission would be delayed.""Earthquakes strike in Rwanda, Congo"
"by Thomas Rippe, Associated Press | February 4, 2008
KIGALI, Rwanda - Two earthquakes struck hours apart yesterday in Rwanda and neighboring Congo, killing at least 39 people including some who were in a church that collapsed, officials said.
Nearly 400 people were injured.
A magnitude-6.0 quake struck Congo early, according to the US Geological Survey. The second quake, which registered 5.0, hit a few hours later near the countries' border in Rwanda's rural Rusizi District.
"I was at home when the earthquake hit and the next thing I heard, was the house falling down," said Florence Nyiranzoga, who was airlifted to the Rwandan capital, Kigali, for treatment of her injuries.
Another victim, who was also airlifted to Kigali, said the death toll was sure to rise.
"I am sure very many people are going to die," she said, adding that the hospital near the quake's center was full and that "people were scattered in the hospital compound."
In Rwanda, 34 people were killed and 231 wounded, according to a Ministry of Health hotline. Frank Mugambage, an official in the president's office, said several were killed when their church collapsed. Rescuers were searching for more victims.
The Rwanda temblor rattled Kigali, some 125 miles away from the Rusizi District.
Across the border in the lakeside city of Bukavu, Mayor Raisi Kunda said five people were killed and 149 injured. Kunda said many homes as well as schools and churches were damaged, but the extent was not immediately clear."Notice how the Zionist press fails to report the NEARLY 6 MILLION DEAD in the Congolese civil wars?!
Now why would the AmeriKan press HIDE a HOLOCAUST?
Didn't even buzz-word the Rwanda history of genocide.
And yet we get references to SIX MILLION DEAD in the Jewish holocaust all the time!
Sigh. I'm closing the case, readers.
"Kenya opposition calls for peacekeepers"
Did you click on the link and see the BEAUTIFUL MOMMY and BABY, readers?
"by Katy Pownall, Associated Press | February 4, 2008
BONDO, Kenya - Kenya's opposition leader called yesterday for international peacekeepers to help restore calm in a country once considered one of the most stable on the continent, as weeks of violence linked to the disputed presidential election gathered frightening momentum.
In western Kenya, the epicenter of some of the worst bloodshed since the Dec. 27 vote, gangs with machetes and bows and arrows faced off and black smoke billowed from torched homes.
More than 800 people have died and 300,000 have been forced from their homes since the election, which foreign and local observers say was rigged.
EVERY DAMN ELECTION is NOW FIXED as far as I am concerned.
Until the rulers can prove otherwise, I'm not believing in them!!!!
"The [African Union] should bring in peacekeepers because the violence in Kenya is appalling," Raila Odinga said in an interview at his villa-style home in this western Kenya village.
AU and government officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
The election returned President Mwai Kibaki to power for a second five-year term after Odinga's early lead evaporated overnight.
Sort of like the 2004 presidential election!
The ensuing violence has degenerated into ethnic clashes over decades-old grudges about land and resources, with much of the anger aimed at Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe, long resented for their domination of politics and the economy.
Yesterday, gangs faced off in the western town of Sotik where several houses had been torched, according to a local reporter at the scene.
A day earlier, young men from rival ethnic groups hunted one another through the streets of another western town, Eldoret, burning houses and blocking roads.
Former UN secretary general Kofi Annan brokered a deal between Kibaki and Odinga on Friday, laying out a plan to end the violence before moving onto the tougher political issues at the root of the fighting.
Annan said it should take two weeks to deal with the immediate crisis and up to a year to solve the deeper problems.
But both sides were still talking tough.
Kibaki accused his opponents of orchestrating the violence, and Odinga said Kenyans will not allow their votes to be stolen.
But Americans WILL!!!
I'm so proud of my country!
Gees, we could LEARN SOMETHING from the Africans, no?
"Kenyans will continue to resist Kibaki because they didn't elect him," Odinga said during the interview at his family home, built on land that belonged to his great-grandfather, in a walled compound on a 150-acre farm.
"He has no choice but to step down because the world will judge him harshly," he said.
Later, he attended a service at the Anglican St. Michael's Parish Church in Bondo, where a packed congregation demanded to hear their local hero.
"We want the heart of the nation," the 1,000-strong crowd chanted, in the brick building, which had a corrugated iron roof but no windows or doors.
Afterward, Odinga addressed the crowd from a wooden dais, saying in his tribal Luo language: "This is not a tribal war. You should know that even Kikuyus and Kisii voted for me."
Then CUI BONO?
He preached peace and urged people to refrain from attacking others, but said that the police also were to blame for violence.
"At the moment they are a source of insecurity. They are shooting people to kill. Therefore, we need some kind of foreign force to come and assist," he said, adding that the Kenyan army is not neutral.
"They are answerable to one person, the commander in chief . . . [who is] Kibaki," he said. "That's why we want to have a neutral force; it can either be the AU or UN, if the use of military is necessary.""Mugabe benefits as talks collapse"
Seeing as Mugabe is an official enemy of the West now, I don't know what to make of this story.
Probably why it is in the Globe.
And what is going on in Somalia, and why does the Zionist press not report on it with the enthusiasm and vigor that it employs on these particular countries at these particular times, readers?

HARARE, Zimbabwe - Reunification talks between leaders of Zimbabwe's fractured opposition collapsed yesterday, giving the ruling party of President Robert Mugabe a powerful boost heading into elections next month.
The two opposition factions, which both claim the name Movement for Democratic Change, immediately announced plans to run separate candidates for the country's major offices, splitting the antigovernment vote and weakening their chances of ending Mugabe's 28-year rule of a country now in steep economic decline.
The development undid months of intense negotiations aimed at healing a rift that opened in 2005, shortly after the last national vote, over the leadership style of Morgan Tsvangirai, Zimbabwe's most prominent opposition leader.
Both sides had agreed to run on a single ticket headed by Tsvangirai. But in meetings over the past two days, the factions could not agree on how to select candidates for parliamentary seats. In the face of a renewed stalemate, both sides renounced all previous agreements.
"Everything was done," said Gabriel Chaibva, spokesman for the faction led by Arthur Mutambara, Tsvangirai's leading rival.
Chaibva acknowledged that a divided opposition would find it hard to mount a credible challenge to Mugabe. "This is the tragedy. Obviously, united we stand, divided we fall," he said.
The presidential vote scheduled for March 29 will now pit Mugabe against Tsvangirai and Mutambara. Mugabe's ruling party, the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front, won elections against a unified opposition in 2000, 2002 and 2005 amid widespread allegations of irregularities. The opposition has said Mugabe rigged those votes.
Which votes aren't? Any?
The Movement for Democratic Change has weakened in recent years and consistently failed to mount major protests.
Tsvangirai said at a news conference yesterday that he did everything possible to bring the sides together. "If there is anyone who took the high road to bring this agreement together, it is me," he said.
Of the continued division, he added: "It is regrettable. It is unfortunate. But that is the reality."
The day's events also seemed to mark the final unraveling of talks led by South African President Thabo Mbeki, who was dispatched by southern African leaders to mediate the longstanding political stalemate in Zimbabwe after police brutalized Tsvangirai and dozens of opposition activists last March.
Mbeki had made what appeared to be considerable progress, meeting with Mugabe's deputies and leaders of both opposition factions. Together, they had agreed to a transitional constitution incorporating significant new rights. The talks also led to a relaxation of laws restricting political activity and news gathering.
But Mugabe rejected opposition demands to either implement the constitution, with its new freedoms, ahead of the elections or delay the vote beyond March. By setting an election date of March 29, Mugabe gave the opposition little time to overcome its daunting internal divisions. Parties must submit their lists of candidates by Friday."Yeah, Mugabe is a dictatorial puke, but AmeriKa likes a lot of guys like that.
What business is it of ours?
Yeah, all those African nations who can't get their acts together!
Almost makes you believe in recolonization, huh, westerner?
Never mind feeding the perpetual racist stereotypes.
Alas, that's the purpose of Zionist-driven and -dividing media!
