Former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, General Hughes once quipped at an employee orientation, "Who cares what happens in Burkina Faso?" The implication was clear: Africa was not a priority. But Africa has emerged as one of the highest interest priorities for the U.S. military and the DIA. The continuing civil strife in West Africa, and regional conflicts in East and Central Africa, as well as humanitarian missions, are demanding much attention from senior leaders. The potential for greater US involvement on this little understood continent looms high in the 21st Century. IN539 examines the diverse cultures that make up the African continent and the unique problems confronting nation-building and economic development, as well as exploring the nature of conflict in Africa. Among those conflicts are the civil wars in Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the regional conflict in Ethiopia/Eritrea, and the civil strife within several of the West African states. |
