US drops Africa military HQ Plan

Posted on February 19, 2008

From the BBC:

The US military has decided to keep the headquarters of its new Africa Command in Germany, after only one African nation, Liberia, offered to host it.

Most African countries have been wary of plans to base the command, Africom, on the continent.

Africom’s commander, Gen William Ward, said there were no plans to create large US garrisons on the continent.

The US can always rely on Liberia.
