21 Apr 2025 – The Trump clowns are planning to close U.S. embassies in Africa.
Good riddance, right?

They still plan to work on “coordinated counterterrorism operations” and “strategic extraction and trade of critical natural resources.”
They also still plan to maintain U.S. military bases across the continent. They’re shutting down all kinds of offices, but not Africom.
