How Did Israel Become So Hostile to African Migrants

How Did Israel Become So Hostile to African Migrants

Filed under: Africa,Featured | 

“No human being is illegal. That is a contradiction in terms. Human beings can be beautiful or more beautiful, they can be fat or skinny, they can be right or wrong, but illegal? How can a human being be illegal?”
–Ellie Wiesel, writer, Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor.
Whilst in Tel Aviv this summer my handbag was stolen. I remember all too well the gut-wrenching feeling of loss. The crime was committed by an African migrant. With no job, no home, no money, no food, confronted with absolute poverty he had little choice but to resort to crime.
13,683 people entered Israel illegally in 2010, 62% were Eritreans and 33% were Sudanese. African Refugee Development Centre (ARDC) estimates that there are 60,000 African migrants in Israel with more than 90% arriving before 2007. Despite being a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, the Israeli government has not adopted asylum legislation and the asylum policies and procedures are unclear and arbitrary, according to the ARDC.
The Israeli government does not deport illegal migrants to their home countries where they would most likely be tortured and killed, nor does it grant them refugee status. Instead, migrants are left in a state of uncertainty, as they unable to work legally and do not have recourse to public funds.
Shortly after the theft, the police arrived at the scene. An officer turned to me and said, “Now do you see why we don’t want them?” The most problematic words the officer used were “we” and “them.” The officer’s statement represents a hierarchical dualism in which he sees himself as superior, and African migrants as inferior. The officer’s sweeping comment reaffirms that Israel has achieved its mission of disempowering and dehumanizing African migrants by engaging in processes of “othering”.
The government has used “othering” and the scapegoating of African migrants as a way of defining and securing the identity of Israel as a Jewish state. Earlier this year in May 2012, the Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, publicly said “illegal infiltrators [were] flooding the country” and “this phenomenon is very grave and threatens the social fabric of society, our national security and our national identity”.
By whipping the public into a frenzy, the government concentrated the public’s attention on a perceived external threat – African migrants. In doing so they encouraged the nation to unite against a common enemy. As a result the draconian measures proposed by the government to eradicate African migrants were embraced by the nation.Such inflammatory statements from the leader of the country have created wide spread moral panic across Israel, with Israelis demonstrating against a powerless and illegal group of people. On 23 May 2012, around 1,000 demonstrators took to the streets and waved signs stating: “infiltrators, get out of our homes” and “our streets are no longer safe for our children.” To legitimize the publics’ outrange, Miri Regev, a member of the Israeli Likud MK political party said during the protests “the Sudanese are a cancer in our body”. Might Miri Regev’s words have helped stir the mob of Israelis that went on to physically attack Africans in South Tel Aviv?
One measure implemented by the government is the construction of a fence along the Egypt-Israel border to prevent migrants from entering Israel. Construction began in 2010 and finished this month. The fence runs for 165 miles and cost of 1.5 billion shekels (approximately 178 million pounds). In constructing another fence, the Israeli government has created a physical and symbolic division between ‘us and them’. Israel is slowly becoming a nation surrounded by fences and isolated from neighboring countries.
A second measure proposed by the government, is the construction of the world’s largest detention centre (concentration camp)in the Negev desert to hold up to 11,000 African migrants. Despite the economically fragile state of the Israeli economy, the government has pledged to spend £58 million on the centre. As outlined in a recent report, the centre will accommodate migrants, including women and children for up to three years before they are deported to their country of origin; those from “enemy” states, such as Sudan, who cannot be repatriated, could be detained indefinitely.
A further measure proposed by the  Israeli government is the deportation of thousands of migrants back to their home countries, despite concerns over the potential violation of human rights. Interior Minister Eli Yishai announced in late August that all Sudanese migrants have until mid-October to leave Israel, after which they will be arrested and detained. The government offered financial incentives to African migrants who left voluntarily. Meanwhile others were detained by police and removed by force. During the flux of deportation, the Interior Minister Eli Yishai affirmed the government’s draconian policy and said “we cannot allow ourselves to flood the country with infiltrators and migrants.”
On 3 October African migrants and Israeli human rights groups led by the Association for Civil Rights, petitioned a Jerusalem District Court to nullify Yishai’s decision to detain migrants in a detention centre and to deport them. Following their petition, Judge Nava Ben-Or granted an interim injunction on 11 October to prohibit Yishai from continuing with his barbaric plans until the court makes a final decision. Judge Nava Ben-Or gave the Interior Ministry two weeks to respond.
It seems to me there is a danger that the denigration of African migrants will become the basis for nation-affirmation. The process of othering is fragile as it must continually be fed by new “evidence” of the inferiority of the other – thus African migrants are at risk of being constantly degraded. It is alarming even to consider what might happen next.
The government fail to note that after spending a number of years in Israel, many migrants speak Hebrew, are employed; and their children, the next generation, attend schools along with Israeli nationals. They are (unofficially) part of the nation. Despite their attempts to integrate, Israel only recognised six refugees last year. Since Israel signed the Refugee Convention, only 170 people have been granted refugee status by Israel.
It might not be a viable option for Israel, a small economically fragile nation, to sustain such large numbers of dependents, but Israel must facilitate policy change. ASSAF’s, aid organization for refugees and asylum seekers in Israel, long-term goal is to facilitate the formal recognition and implementation of refugee rights and a fair asylum process. As a signatory of the Refugee Convention Israel must at least comply with its convention obligations.
It is surprising that a nation, founded as a refuge for survivors of the Holocaust, now persecutes others who’ve experienced great suffering, struggle and sacrifice, on the basis of their religion, ethnicity and nationality. Surely Israel has a responsibility to help those most in need?

Israel to Expel Thousands of African Migrants to Unidentified Third Country

Israel to Expel Thousands of African Migrants to Unidentified Third Country

Israel’s leaders have recently made hateful speeches against Africans
AFRICANGLOBE - Israel has struck a deal to expel thousands of African migrants to an unnamed African country in return for supplying it with military aid, the Yediot Aharonot newspaper said on Wednesday.
The paper said that, under an agreement in principle, the country will take 1,500-2,000 Eritreans currently in Israel in exchange for military, technological and agricultural aid.
On Monday, a high-ranking Israeli official told the Supreme Court an agreement was about to be reached with the country in question for the deportation of Eritrean immigrants.
While the country was not named, Yediot said the understandings were cobbled together by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s special envoy, Haggai Hadas, after he visited a number of countries in the past two months, including Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria and Uganda.
Of some 60,000 African immigrants in Israel — more than half of whom are from Eritrea — around 2,000 are being held in a prison camp. They have applied for refugee status, but their requests have yet to be processed.
Rising anti-African sentiments exploded into violence last year when a Tel Aviv protest turned ugly. Jewish rioters smashed African-run shops and property, and there was a worrying number of attacks against innocent African.
In a bid to stop African migrants from entering Israel, the country has erected a barrier along its border with Egypt. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has crediting it for a dramatic fall in the numbers of people crossing from Egypt, with only two “infiltrators” entering this month.
Under Israeli law, asylum seekers can be detained for up to three years.

The deal to ship immigrants to a third country has prompted concern among rights groups, with the Association for Civil Rights in Israel saying their rights must be protected.
“In order to repatriate or resettle refugees or asylum seekers, there are certain standards that have to be met,” ACRI’s Marc Grey told reporters.
“They have to go voluntarily to a third country,” he stressed.
“And that third country needs to provide assurances they will get refugee status.”

“They Are Still Our Slaves’ – A White Man’s Perspective On Black People

“They Are Still Our Slaves’ – A White Man’s Perspective On Black People

They days of spending our income at non-Black businesses are over, it is time to BUY BLACK
AFRICANGLOBE – For those of you who heard of it, this is an article Dee Lee was reading on a New York radio station. For those of you who didn’t hear it, this is very deep. This is a heavy piece and a Caucasian wrote it.

“They Are Still Our Slaves”

We can continue to reap profits from the Blacks without the effort of physical slavery. Look at the current methods of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED, and SELFISHNESS.
Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once said, “The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in a book.
We now live in the Information Age. They have gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts of their fight for freedom, yet they refuse to read. There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon. com, not to mention their own Black Bookstores that provide solid blueprints to reach economic equality photo (which should have been their fight all along), but few read consistently, if at all.
GREED is another powerful weapon of containment. Blacks, since the abolition of slavery, have had large amounts of money at their disposal. Last year they spent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of their 450 billion dollars in total yearly income (2.22%).
Any of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture we care to dream up, no matter how outlandish, they will buy into it. Being primarily a consumer people, they function totally by greed. They continually want more, with little thought for saving or investing.
They would rather buy some new sneakers than invest in starting a business. Some even neglect their children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU, and they still think that having a Mercedes, and a big house gives them “Status” or that they have achieved their Dream. They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in poverty because their greed holds them back from collectively making better communities.
With the help of BET, and the rest of their Black media that often broadcasts destructive images into their own homes, we will continue to see huge profits like those of Tommy and Nike. (Tommy Hilfiger has even jeered them, saying he doesn’t want their money, and look at how the fools spend more with him than ever before!). They’ll continue to show off to each other while we build solid communities with the profits from our businesses that we market to them.
SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the major ways we can continue to contain them. One of their own, Dubois said that there was an innate division in their culture.”Talented Tenth” he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are segments of their culture that has achieved some “form” of success. However, that segment missed the fullness of his work. They didn’t read that the “Talented Tenth” was then responsible to aid The Non-Talented Ninety Percent in achieving a better life.
Instead, that segment has created another class, Buppie class that looks down on their people or aids them in a condescending manner. They will never achieve what we have. Their selfishness does not allow them to be able to work together on any project or endeavor of substance.
When they do get together, their selfishness lets their egos get in the way of their goal. Their so-called help organizations seem to only want to promote their name without making any real change in their community.
They are content to sit in conferences and conventions in our hotels, and talk about what they will do, while they award plaques to the best speakers, not to the best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness? They steadfastly refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE (TEAM)
They do not understand that they are no better than each other because of what they own , as a matter of fact, most of those Buppies are but one or two pay checks away from poverty. All of which is under the control of our pens in our offices and our rooms.
Yes, we will continue to contain them as long as they refuse to read, continue to buy anything they want, and keep thinking they are “helping” their communities by paying dues to organizations which do little other than hold lavish conventions in our hotels. By the way, don’t worry about any of them reading this letter, remember, ‘THEY DON’T READ!!!!
Now that you have read this, I want to get an ongoing discussion on the topic. I want everyone who reads this to post your opinions of this letter. Do you feel that is true. If so, in what ways? How can us as the African race get away from these stereotypes or accusations that are raised within this text?
The evidence is provided in this letter. Did this letter take you aback as it did to us? Let us know what you think. Tell your friends to read this also. Remember that in order to have progress you must address the issues pertaining to your people so please keep this in mind and educate your friends and most importantly educate yourselves.


Meet the Man Responsible for Killing Nearly 10 Million Africans

Meet the Man Responsible for Killing Nearly 10 Million Africans

epooewpewpoby Dr. Boyce Watkins
When people talk about genocides and holocausts, they don’t usually talk much about people with dark skin.  Instead, they discuss the horrible things that happened to Jews during World War II, and other atrocities that have happened around the world.  When they discuss history in your child’s school, they don’t usually mention much of anything about Africa.  In the world in which your child is being taught, nearly everything decent, good and productive was done by a white man.
Well, one historical figure who has earned every bit of a Hitler-like status is King Leopold II of Belgium.  Leopold is largely considered responsible for the murders of between 8 and 10 million Africans during his occupation of the Congo between 1885 and 1908.  Liam Oceallaigh does a wonderful job of explaining Leopold’s “contributions” to history and why we are not likely to learn about him in school.  According to Ocealliagh:
Most of us – I don’t yet know an approximate percentage but I fear its extremely high – aren’t taught about him in school. We don’t hear about him in the media. He’s not part of the widely repeated narrative of oppression (which includes things like the Holocaust during World War II). He’s part of a long history of colonialism, imperialism, slavery and genocide in Africa that would clash with the social construction of the white supremacist narrative in our schools. It doesn’t fit neatly into a capitalist curriculum. Its bad to “say racist things” (sometimes), but quite fine not to talk about genocides in Africa perpetrated by European capitalist monarchs.
The deaths of Africans were facilitated by Leopold by whipping them for failing to meet production quotas, and some were worked to death while living in abysmal conditions.  Many died from disease and some died from famines that occurred as Leopold’s army took the food and destroyed entire villages.
Leopold profited handsomely from the resources in Africa, earning as much as $1.1 billion in today’s dollars during his lifetime.  He reportedly used the money to buy expensive gifts for his teenage mistress.
Leopold had hundreds of bodies dumped into rivers and lakes and kidnapped/murdered entire families.   They would present baskets full of severed hands to officers as evidence of how many people had been killed.   In other words, black people were considered to be less than human.
When we read about historical figures and incidents such as this one, we should be reminded of the dangers of allowing our childrens’ minds to be hijacked by an educational system that teaches them to forgive, forget and assimilate.  Even the most educated among us can be the most passive and ignorant, largely because much of our history was stolen and never shared.
One of the thoughts that came to mind when I spoke this week with educator Steve Perry and another friend, Jawanza Kunjufu, is the importance of all black families educating our children at home.   This may not mean taking your child out of the school system, but every child must be homeschooled on some level, so that they can learn the things that the school system will never teach.
Knowledge is power, and the digital age affords us an unprecedented opportunity to speak to one another without filters or racist gatekeepers seeking to manage and control our messages.  A new day is here in black America, and it’s time to celebrate that new day by learning to think for ourselves.
We must be sure to teach our children the truth.

Museveni is Right: African Nations Worship the U.S.

President Yoweri Museveni
AFRICANGLOBE – At last month’s African Union Heads of State Summit in Ethiopia, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni alleged that Africans had stopped worshipping God, and instead they were worshipping the United States.
To an extent, he was right. But not in the sense of worshipping the way we do God.
That the US behaves like a god is common knowledge. I think we Africans give so much attention to what the US says that we forget what is important to us. That is why President Museveni thinks Africa is worshipping America.
But why should what the US thinks or wants be at the centre of our national issues? Why should President Barack Obama’s visit to Africa be so important that we have to debate for weeks why he has chosen to skip certain countries?
The only problem with President Museveni is preaching to Africa as if he is the model of good leadership — as if he is the king of the continent.
Egypt Should Stop Beating War Drums
Ethiopia has said nothing will prevent the Blue Nile hydropower project from being implemented, even as Egypt threatened to carry out certain “hostile activities” if the project is not stopped.
The 6,000-megawatt Grand Renaissance Dam was conceived by former prime Minister Meles Zenawi to make Ethiopia a functional industrial country. Power costs in the country are poised to go down drastically when the project is completed.
Kenya is about to start building power pylons to import power from Ethiopia to satisfy the high demand at home. It would probably back Ethiopia in the project, as would Rwanda, the source of the White Nile, and Uganda.
That the Democratic Republic of Congo is building another giant dam means Africa is going to be the world’s manufacturing hub in the future, as most countries will share cheap power and this will attract foreign investments.
It would, therefore, be prudent for Egypt to talk with all countries on the Nile Basin and come to an agreement, instead of beating the war drums.
Uganda Taxes Poor to Protect the Rich
GROWING UP in a coffee growing village in Uganda, one of my biggest days of the year would be Budget day, when I would sit surrounded by old men anxious to know the new price of coffee. And almost every financial year, there would be a price increment.
Fast forward to 2013. One of my grandpas was visiting the day Maria Kiwanuka read the budget. When grandpa learnt that there would be nothing about coffee, he strolled to his bedroom. No sooner had we started our analysis of Mrs Kiwanuka’s budget than Grandpa stormed the living room.
His Findings
While he was in his bedroom, he had watched the budget speech on the “home” channel, Tanzania’s ITV.
His findings were astounding. After watching the Tanzanian budget, he realised that while Uganda levied Ush200 on kerosene, for the sole purpose of preventing adulteration of diesel, Tanzania levied Tsh50 per litre of petrol to finance the Rural Electrification Agency.
Tanzania taxes the rich to offer services to the poor, while Uganda increases taxes on essential goods to protect the rich.
Grandpa further noticed that Tanzania has a Skills Development Levy for the youth, similar to Kenya’s National Industrial Training Authority levy, while Uganda has no specific budgetary provision for this.
Duty remissions
The Tanzanian minister, in his budget speech, cited 10 items that have been addressed by the amendment of the EAC Customs Management Act. Key among these are several duty remissions on raw materials for soap and plastics used in the production of gas energy.
Uganda’s minister hides these in a report before parliament. Why not lay them open so that wananchi can know what how they are affected by such remissions? Is the secrecy meant to serve a specific purpose?

FALSE AMERICAN PRETENCE TO INVESTIGATE NIGERIAN WAR ON TERROR AND THEIR FOUNDING OF BOKO HARAM.


I AM SO VERY DISGUSTED THAT THE AMERICANS SENT THEIR INVESTIGATORS TO NIGERIA WITH THE AIM OF INVESTIGATING THE NIGERIAN ARMY ON THEIR FIGHTING WITH THE BOKO HARAM TERORIST IN BAGA, BORNO STATE OF NIGERIA, WHEREAS NOBODY IN THE WORLD, NOT EVEN THE UNITED NATIONS OR THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE IN THE HAGUE HAS BEEN ABLE TO INVESTIGATE AND BRING THE AMERICANS TO JUSTICE FOR ALL THEIR INVASIONS AND MURDERS OF INNOCENT CIVILIAN FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES THEY HAVE INVADED IN THE WORLD. REMEMBER THERE ARE INFORMATIONS THAT THE AMERICANS THEMSELVES HELPED TO START, FINANCE AND ARM THE BOKO HARAM TO STOP NIGERIAS INFLUENCE AS A PEACE BROKER IN WEST AFRICA THROUGH THE ECOMOG. AMERICANS HAVE ALWAYS AND WILL ALWAYS WANT TO CONTROL AND POLICE THE WORLD, NOW SEEING A COUNTRY LIKE NIGERIA TAKING OVER WHAT THEY CONSIDER AS THEIR ONLY GOD GIVEN RIGHT OVER ALL OTHER NATIONS IN THE WORLD IS LIKE A SLAP AND A COMPETITION TO THEIR SUPERIORITY.
PLEASE, I WOULD LIKE THE PRESIDENT, HOUSE OF SENATE AND REPRESENTATIVE , CHIEF OF DEFENSE AND OTHER ABLE BODIED NIGERIANS IN POSITION TO ASK THEM WHAT THEIR INTENSIONS ARE? . NEVER FORGET WHO YOUR ENEMY IS. THE AMERICANS THRIVE ON WARS AND CONFLICT ALL OVER THE WORLD, IF THERE IS NO CONFLICT, THEY WILL CAUSE A CONFLICT IN ORDER TO SELL THEIR STOCK PILE OF WEAPONS. ALL THE WARS AND INSURGENCY ALL OVER THE WORLD IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN CAUSED BY THE AMERICAN.
I PERSONALLY WOULD GUARANTEE THE WHOLE NIGERIAN NATION AND THE WORLD IN GENERAL THAT THE AMERICANS HAVE NOT COME TO HELP NIGERIA BUT INSTEAD TO SEE HOW THE BOKO HARAM THE PUT IN MOTION IS GAINING GROUND AND ALSO TO SEE HOW THEY CAN REENFORCE THE BOKO HARAM TO DO US MORE DAMAGE. THESE AMERICANS KNOWS QUITE WELL THAT IF NIGERIA RISES UP, THE WHOLE OF AFRICA HAS RISEN UP. FOR EVERY 4 AFRICANS , 1 IS A NIGERIAN. THEY ARE SO JEALOUS OF OUR GROWTH AND DO NOT WANT US TO BE THE NEXT CHINA.
NIGERIANS, PLEASE ALWAYS LOOK OUT FOR YOUR ENEMIES AND NEVER RELY ON YOUR ENEMY TO HELP SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS AS THEY GAIN ECONOMICALLY BY YOUR DOWNFALL. ¿ HOW CAN A RAT CALL A CAT TO HELP SOLVE A PROBLEM BETWEEN TWO RATS ? THE ONLY ANSWER IS THAT THE CAT WILL EAT THE TWO RATS.
BY THE WAY, PLEASE ASK THEM ¿ WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO ALEVIATE THE RACISM, MASS IMPRISONMENT AND ECONOMIC OPPRESION OF THE BLACKS IN AMERICA?. THEY HAVE VIRTUALLY REDUCED THE BLACKS IN AMERICA TO A BEGGAR PEOPLE IN AMERICA. THEY HAVE FROM THE BEGGINIG OF SLAVE TRADE TILL DATE BEEN OPPRESSED AND HUMILIATED. THEY TOOK AWAY ALL THEIR ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL RIGHTS, THEREBY REDUCING THEM TO A LAUGHING RACE IN AMERICA. REMEMBER THAT ONCE YOU HAVE A CRIMINAL RECORD, THE DOOR THAT WAS EVEN NARROW TO THE BLACKS BECOME SHUT FOREVER.
REMEMBER ALSO THAT THE AMERICAN EMBASSY IS THE BASE WHERE THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT SPY ON NIGERIA THEREBY FACILITATING OUR WEAK POINTS TO THE AMERICANS ON HOW THEY CAN DESTABILIZE NIGERIA A COUNTRY OF ALMOST 200 MILLION WHICH IS A LOT OF MONEY AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO BE MADE WHEN THEY CAN CAUSE ANOTHER CIVIL WAR ON NIGERIA. EVERYBODY IN THE WESTERN WORLD WANTS OUR MINERAL WEALTH AND HAS NO INTEREST IN OUR WELL BEING.
Boko Haram: A CIA Covert Operation; America’s Destabilization Plots Against Nigeria–GreenWhite Coalition
EXPOSED! AMERICA’S DESTABILIZATION PLOTS AGAINST NIGERIA
Written December, 2011
NewsRescue[Op-ed] In the aftermath of the unfortunate bombings and sporadic attacks that took place in Damaturu the Yobe State capital and environs on the last Sallah Day, the Embassy of the United States in Nigeria hastily put out a public statement declaring that such like bombings should be expected in three well known hospitality establishments in Abuja the nation’s capital.
To discerning observers not only did that score high marks for bad manners as that was hardly what a nation still grieving and coming to terms with its losses expected from a supposedly friendly nation, but that the US embassy was being economical with information on what it actually knew about the incident, and more significantly, the role the US government itself has been playing in the whole gamut of acts of destabilization against Nigeria.
We have already been regaled with reports provided by the Wikileaks which identified the US embassy in Nigeria as a forward operating base for wide and far reaching acts of subversion against Nigeria which include but not limited to eavesdropping on Nigerian government communication, financial espionage on leading Nigerians, support and funding of subversive groups and insurgents, sponsoring of divisive propaganda among the disparate groups of Nigeria and the use of visa blackmail to induce and coerce high ranking Nigerians into acting in favour of US interests.
But beyond what we know from the Wikileaks report, what many Nigerians do not know is that US embassy’s subversive activities in Nigeria fits into the long term US government’s well camouflaged policy of containment against Nigeria the ultimate goal of which is to eliminate Nigeria as a potential strategic rival to the US in the African continent.
Today as Nigerians are reeling from the negative effects of the insurgency that has befallen our dear country and earnestly seeking answers to what all this portends for the future, the GREENWHITE COALITION a citizen’s watchdog can reveal the true nature of this silent, undeclared war of attrition waged against Nigeria by the Government of United States of America.
BACKGROUND TO US SUBVERSIVE ACTS AGAINST NIGERIA AND TIMELINES
From ACRI to AFRICOM
ACRI stands for Africa Crises Response Initiative and it was set up during the Bush Jnr Administration as a counterweight to the Nigeria led ECOWAS Monitoring Group on the Liberian Civil War or ECOMOG as it is more popularly known.
ACRI came to being from the secret reports and recommendations separately by the Africa-America Institute and the Brookings Institute commissioned by the Central Intelligence Agency, the American Government’s Directorate responsible for organizing foreign subversive activities, on the Liberian civil war and the intervention of ECOMOG.
Both reports zeroed in on the pivotal role Nigeria was playing in the ECOMOG initiative and noted pointedly the phenomenal success recorded by ECOMOG in containing the Liberian crisis without any significant role or intervention from any of the major western powers including the United States.
The report concluded that should ECOMOG be allowed to go the whole hog, the major beneficiary will be Nigeria and that might form the basis for a pax Nigeriana in the West African sub-region eclipsing the influence of former colonial powers France and Britain.
The reports also called on the United States Government to note that Liberia being its creation should not be allowed to fall into Nigerian hands with consequences to US strategic interests in the country and the region. Specifically both reports noted that should Nigeria be allowed to have a foothold in Liberia, it will further embolden Nigeria to challenge the US and the West in carving its own sphere of interest at their expense.
In this regard, the report further recalled Nigeria’s role in helping to liberate the southern African countries in the 70’s and 80’s in clear opposition and defiance to the interests of the United States and its western allies which resulted in setback for Western initiatives in Africa at the time.
Both concluded with a recommendation that the US Government in conjunction with its allies should seek to contain the growing influence of Nigeria in the sub-region by forming a parallel organization to ECOMOG. But in order not to unduly alarm and antagonize Nigeria which the report admitted still had considerable influence in the region, the US government was advised to go about this using quiet diplomacy.
During the secret congressional hearing organized to consider the reports by both institutes on Nigeria’s role in the ECOMOG, the interagency team comprising representatives from the CIA, Pentagon and State Department formed to push the case, endorsed the recommendation that Nigeria be kept out of the alternate arrangements on Liberia that was being proposed.
The strategy was to win away some key African countries from participation enthusiastically in the ECOMOG initiative. The sweeteners for this were the promise and delivery of military and humanitarian aid. This was the line the then US Secretary of State Warren Christopher pursued when he visited a number of African countries excluding Nigeria to sell the ACRI idea.
Related: NewsRescue- Nigeria: The Illusion of a North Dominated Rule
Thus ensued, the stalemate in ECOMOG operations with some of the participating countries foot dragging in their commitment to the force and operations. On the diplomatic front, the US along with its allies namely Britain and France using the engineered stalemate as cover, proceeded to sell the idea that the ECOMOG initiative needed to be reviewed and given a new direction.
The US and its allies then argued that the intervention of outside powers such as the US and its western allies was the tonic needed to move the ECOMOG operation forward. But in order to prevent any worldwide backlash against this blatant interference in what should be a regional African initiative, the US and its allies sought to present it under the auspices of the United Nations with a select Asian and Latin American countries participating.
By the time the tallies were counted, the US had achieved the one objective of all the diplomatic and strategic maneuvers; the containment of Nigeria led ECOMOG initiative to resolve the Liberian Crises.
It was on the platform of this surreptitious American intervention in the Liberian crisis that the US Africa Command or AFRICOM was formed.
African Crises Response Initiative and the new African Security (Dis)order {AJPS}
Unlike its precursor, the ACRI which sought to disguise US intentions in Africa particularly as it pertains to Nigeria under the cloak of multilateral humanitarian intervention, AFRICOM which came to being on October 1, 2008 is clearly programmed to serve US military-strategic interests especially with regards to the ever expanding global reach and influence of China in direct competition with the United States.
In response to the growing influence of a rapidly expanding industrial China in Africa, the goal of AFRICOM is to seize key strategic areas in Africa and bring them under US control in order to block China’s access to vital energy and mineral resources for its expanding economy. But to effectively carry this out, such African countries of strategic importance must first of all be weakened internally and made to feel so vulnerable that they would have to inevitably seek US protection or intervention. A spur to this interventionist programme provides that any targeted African country that does not see the wisdom or resists the need to seek US “protection” will then have to suffer dismemberment with the pliant area carved out of the supposedly hostile area and given US “protection”.
We have seen this happen in the great lakes area where US Special Forces have been deployed ostensibly to protect the countries there from so-called insurgents who in the first place were sponsored by the same US. In Sudan we have seen how a blanket cover of international humanitarian cries orchestrated by the United States on the so-called Darfur crisis served as a prelude to the dismemberment of Sudan to punish the government of El-Bashir for daring to conclude oil deals with the Chinese to the detriment of American companies.
We have also seen how Libya and Gaddafi was put to the sword for daring to sidetrack American oil interests. {See: NewsRescue-The NATO “liberated” Libya Terror “tidal wave” over North Africa} But the greatest prize for AFRICOM and its goal to plant a PAX AMERICANA in Africa would be when it succeeds in the most strategic African country, NIGERIA. This is where the raging issue of BOKO HARAM and the widely reported prediction by the United States Intelligence Council on the disintegration of Nigeria by 2015 comes into perspective.

From the 1st October 2010 bombing that rocked Abuja till date Nigeria seems to be locked in a vice like grip of a growing and intractable insurgency manifested in bombings of public places and sporadic attacks on public institutions resulting in the loss of scores of lives and destruction of properties. Predictably there has been a discernible growth in panic and tension in the country and not a few people are beginning to think that perhaps the country seems headed inevitably for a long drawn insurgency leading to a split. With the exception of the 1st October 2010 bombing incident, a shadowy group which goes by the name Boko Haram has laid claim to most of the subsequent bombings that have occurred in the country.

The seemingly intractable nature of the Boko Haram outrage has prompted a lot of questions from Nigerians. What really is this Boko Haram thing and what are their grievances if any? Why have they chosen to remain faceless in spite of the devastating effects of their activities on the psyche of the nation, and entreaties from Nigerian authorities to come forward for negotiations? Why are they able to perpetrate their attacks with relative ease and why has there not been a single clue at the scene of their acts to lead to them?
For sure, Nigerians are not unused to sectarian violence.  But the ones we have witnessed in this country have been predictable and the modus and fault lines have been well known to the authorities who have always done well to keep them within tolerable limits.
The Boko Haram of Mohammed Yussuf which predated this new one can be so categorized and was well known through its operations, leadership and locations.
But how did a ragtag collection of largely half literate unsophisticated persons operating mostly on Okada transform literally overnight to being able to design, manufacture and deploy bombs in buildings and in vehicles costing in excess of a million naira and carry out attacks in several locations around the country?

How have their reach grown from just a corner of Nigeria to virtually everywhere in the country? For them to be able to mount such a sophisticated operation, they must necessarily have a well structured command and control system which in spite of their best efforts at concealment cannot remain undetected for long. So how have they seemingly defied the best efforts of combined security agencies in the country in detecting and foiling their activities?
The GREENWHITE Coalition can reveal that the current Boko Haram campaign is a covert operation organized by the American Central Intelligence Agency, CIA and coordinated by the American Embassy in Nigeria.
For some time now, the CIA has been running secret training and indoctrination camps along the porous and vulnerable borderlands of Niger, Chad and Cameroon. At these camps youths from poor, deprived and disoriented backgrounds are recruited and trained to serve as insurgents. The agents who supply these youth lure them with the promise of better life and work of Allah and further indoctrinated to believe they are working to install a just Islamic order from the ungodly one that currently holds sway in Nigeria.
The American CIA programme officers of this project prudently remain in the background, living the day to day running of the camps to supervisors of Middle Eastern origin specially recruited for this purpose. After several months of indoctrination and training on weapons handling, survival tactics, surveillance and evasion techniques, the insurgents are now put on stand by for the next phase of the operation.

The next phase of the operations involves the identification and selection of the targets which had already been mapped out by the American Embassy. If buildings are the targets for attack, the weapons and technical equipment to be used are kept in safe houses.
The countdown to the attack involves ferrying of the insurgents and quarantine at safe houses for the H hour. After the attack, in the ensuing panic, the insurgents make their escape into safe houses to dispose the weapons and disappear and dissolve later into the local population. The technical angle of sending out e-mails and messages of responsibility for the attack to the media in the name of Boko Haram is done through secure telecoms equipment by the American programmers of the operation which can hardly be traced.
If the selected target is to be bombed by an IED, the building is cased for days and the devise inserted when security is lax. The devise is then detonated by an in-built timing mechanism or by a hand held detonator some distance away from where the bomb is placed. If on the hand, the attack is to be carried out by a suicide bomber, the person to carry it out would have been severely drugged with CIA manufactured LSD to disorientation. In his state of mind he would have no clue as to what he is programmed to do having been turned into a veritable human robot.
WORKING TO THE 2015 ANSWER-HOW THE US PLANS TO DISMEMBER NIGERIA BY 2015
It is neither a coincidence nor guesswork that the National Intelligence Council of the United States Government estimated that Nigeria will disintegrate by the year 2015. The whole report actually is a coded statement of intentions on how using destabilization plots the US plans to eventually dismember Nigeria.

The whole goal of the destabilization campaign is to ensure that Nigeria is weakened internally by intractable crises leading up to 2015 when the next general elections are expected to come up. By that year there will be so much mutual suspicion among Nigerians that the elections itself might not hold or if they did at all will set the stage for a full rapture of the Nigerian state. By its calculation and design, the Nigerian state will be so fractious by then; it will be fully ripe for intervention and break up. It is in actualization of this plan that the US strategic planners on Nigeria have devised a three stage plan of implementation.

Stage 1: Pakistanizing Nigeria
With the scourge of Boko Haram as an existential reality, in the coming months the spate of bombings and attacks on public buildings are likely to escalate. High value symbolic targets like churches, mosques and large congregations of people of both faiths will be targeted.
There will also be escalation in provocative statements and incitements by groups to violence. For good measure and effect, the bombings and attacks will be staged on days of observance of religious activities.
The goal is to exacerbate tension and mutual suspicion among adherents of the two faiths in Nigeria and leading to sectarian violence.
This pattern of destabilization operation is taken out of the Pakistani manual of destabilization where a sustained spate of CIA sponsored bombings and sectarian violence stretched the ability and resources of the law and order agencies to cope rendering the country weak and vulnerable to foreign intervention.
Stage 2: Internationalizing the Crisis
Having the set the stage for an intractable sectarian violence pitting Christians against Muslims and between the various disparate groups in the country, there will be calls from the United States, European Union and United Nations for a halt to the violence. A plethora of advocacy groups around the world will struggle for the photo opportunity to mouth concerns about the carnage and humanitarian catastrophe. They will try to make a great show of providing humanitarian aid. For effect, there will be carpet bombing coverage by the International media on the Nigerian crisis with so-called experts discussing all the ramifications who will strive to create the impression that only benevolent foreign intervention could resolve the crisis.
There will be a deluge of international conferences at various capitals around the world all ostensibly aimed to save Nigerians from themselves. Meanwhile away from all the public flurry of activities, the US which initiated the crisis in the first place will be secretly drawing up plans to carve out Nigeria for its strategic and economic benefits.
Stage 3: the Great Carve out under UN Mandate
Following worldwide outrage at the scale of carnage resulting from all out war among various sections of Nigeria secretly induced by the United States and its allies, the stage will now shift to the United Nations where debates will take place on how the world body will work to resolve the crisis.
There will be proposals first for an international peace keeping force to intervene and separate the warring groups and or for a UN mandate for various parts of Nigeria to come under mandated occupying powers. Of course behind the scenes the US and its allies would have secretly worked out which areas of Nigeria to occupy guided as it were by naked economic interests.
It is trite really which power or powers eventually occupies Nigeria for whatever reasons. By the time the UN comes to take a decision to hand over Nigeria for occupation under its mandate, no part of Nigeria will emerge or profit truly from the exercise. The rump areas of Nigeria will all come under occupation and puppet governments will then be set up at the behest of the occupying powers. Nigeria’s fall will be like that of humpty-dumpty, into pieces beyond recognition.
The main beneficiary will of course be the United States which started all this in the first place and which will be there to profit at the end. By engineering the break up of Nigeria, the United States would have eliminated a potential continental rival paving the way to the institution of a Pax Americana in Africa and secondly it would have limited its main global strategic rival China from direct access to badly needed energy and other mineral resources on the resource rich African continent.
QUESTIONS WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES AS NIGERIANS
Related News Media
Against this background Nigerians need to stop and ask critical questions; what real purpose does it serve to deliberately leak a supposedly classified report from a US Intelligence organ normally restricted to only a handful of US policy makers only, to the media and for good measure ensure its wide circulation in the country against whom the action is targeted? Does that not indicate a statement of intent by the country that originated the report to serve as psychological intimidation for the purpose of softening up the targeted country making it ripe for intervention?
In any routine investigation of an act, investigators usually call in the statements of material witnesses before or after the act whether deliberately uttered or inadvertently; does the statement by the United States National Intelligence Council on the break up of Nigeria in 2015 not amount to culpability in this regard especially in view of the escalation in the seemingly intractable acts of subversive violence taking place in Nigeria after that statement was released and also in view of US antecedents in matters such as this around the world?
Why is it that a country which has always been known for its resilience and ability to resolve its problems without outside interference? Is this not indicative of the very Nigerian saying that the witch cried in the night and the child died in the morning?
Why is someone somewhere hell bent on engineering Nigerians to form the unNigerian habit of harbouring and perpetrating desperate, extreme and unforgiving actions against themselves?
Should we all 160million of us stand idly by and allow the United States achieve its selfish and diabolical aim of sowing discord in our country leaving us with widows, orphans and humanitarian problems as it has done in other places? Are we going to allow the labour of our heroes past which bequeathed us a nation second to none and reputed to be the backbone of Africa to die in vain?
From Vietnam to Iraq to Afghanistan and Latin America, America’s track record around the world has been nothing but ugly. In the words of its own statesmen, America has no permanent friends but permanents interests which translate into a healthy and utter disregard to the sensitivities and interests of other countries. That has pretty much formed the basis of US interaction around the world. The same situation will play itself out if we allow them in to our country.
Nigerians let us stop and think before we allow the big bad wolf in, for we will have nobody but ourselves to blame when our chickens start to get missing.

WATCH OUT FOR THE NEXT REPORT FROM GREENWHITE COALITION:
FOCUS ON TERENCE P. McCULLEY, AMBASSADOR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN NIGERIA.
A few Posers;
He is one of America’s top Foreign Service officers and in the parlance of the State Department, an “old Africa hand”. Do you know that Terence P. McCulley, the current United States Ambassador to Nigeria was one of the architects of the Africa Crisis Response Initiative, ACRI which sought to undermine Nigeria’s involvement in ECOMOG?
Do you also know that he was also among the prominent resource persons that worked on establishing AFRICOM?
Do you also know that Ambassador McCulley’s alternate designation is State Department Coordinator of the AFRICOM from which position he is to diplomatically sell and smoothen the way for the entry of AFRICOM into Nigeria?
Do you know too that his main brief as Ambassador to Nigeria is to coordinate activities of the United States Government using the convenient cover of the Embassy of the United States in Nigeria?
Do you also know that the full classified report by the United States National Intelligence Council on the possible break up of Nigeria which parts were only selectively released contains details of how the US plans to carry out this desired end?
Plus
The full details of the bombing of the UN Building in Abuja; who did it and how it was done.
You might also need to know real mission of the so-called foreign security experts who came to “investigate” the bombing. Did they really come to investigate the incident and provide the details of their actual findings to Nigerian authorities or their real brief was mop up any stray evidence from the bombing site in order to obscure the involvement of those who sponsored the act?
The US Embassy in Nigeria operates a network of so-called safe houses all over Nigeria from where it runs various subversive operations including electronic intelligence, surveillance, planning and carrying out of covert operations in Nigeria.
We will provide details of the locations and addresses of such safe houses in Nigeria in the next GREENWHITE COALITION Report.
About the GREENWHITE COALITION.
The GREENWHITE COALITION as the name implies, is inspired from the colours of the Nigerian flag and has set out to rally Nigerians to the flag in defence of the greater interest of the Nigerian nation in the face of plans by the United States to destroy our country and our future. It is a citizen’s volunteer watchdog made up of Nigerians of all ethnic groups and religious persuasions who are alarmed at the dark plans of the United States of America to break up our dear country. We have taken it upon ourselves to spare no effort to expose and thwart the United States Government from carrying out its diabolical plans in Nigeria. For this we are dedicated to ferreting out information and plan counter actions against any untoward moves by the United States Government in Nigeria. In this endeavour we are fortunate to count on the support of well placed functionaries of the United States Government and other highly informed sympathizers who supply us with valuable inside information on the intentions of the United States Government as it affects Nigeria. These persons are themselves alarmed and appalled by the fact that the Government machinery of the United States has been hijacked by rogue elements denying the vast majority of American citizens their fundamental constitutional rights as envisaged by the founding fathers of America. Needless to say that these persons among who are those who served America diligently are aghast at the foreign policy of the American government which purports to act in protection of the American people but in reality protects the corrupt corporate elements that have taken America and Americans hostage.
In the coming days and months the GREENWHITE COALITION will manifest in many ways legally in the Nigerian public domain in its efforts to prevent our country from coming under the American boot. This write up is the first in the series. Many more will come with pinpoint expose of the American Government plans against Nigeria. The United States Government is hereby put on notice; we will not allow our women to be turned to widows and our children orphans as in Iraq, and elsewhere. We will not be turned to refugees at the mercy of so-called humanitarian charities. Nigeria must take its place under the sun.
