The Dying Sahara: US Imperialism and Terror in Africa
Autor Jeremy Keenanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mar 2013
Beginning in 2004, with what local people called the US ‘invasion’ of the Sahel, The Dying Sahara shows how repressive, authoritarian regimes - cashing in on US terrorism ‘rents’ - provoked Tuareg rebellions in both Niger and Mali. Further, he argues that US activity has unleashed a new, narco-trafficking branch of Al-Qaeda.
Keenan's chillingly detailed research shows that the US and its new combatant African command (AFRICOM) have created instability in a region the size of western Europe.

Recenzii

“There is much in Keenan’s analysis that is compelling and persuasive. The writing is excellent and Keenan knows the region and its people extremely well.”
