“The entire upper half of Africa from the Ivory Coast to Somalia has been set aflame with violence and war. The geographical scale is staggering. What has been set in motion is sure to destabilize Africa and the Middle East for decades to come. Add up all the various states at the crest of Africa that have been either destabilized or subjected to a phony ‘youth rebellion’ and you end up with a geographical space as large or larger than the United States (maybe with Alaska thrown in). Yes, that’s the size of real estate that’s been subjected directly to violence and regime change within the past TWO years!”
