Why The United States Wants THIS Country In Africa

BRICS - FOLLOW THE MONEY

U.S. Stealing Control Of Resources?

Somalia has significant but largely untapped reserves of mineral resources, including iron ore, uranium, copper, tin, bauxite, salt, and natural gas. The country also possesses potentially large, though unconfirmed, reserves of petroleum.

The United States and China are locked in a new geopolitical battle... and this time the fight is over Somaliland.

What might seem like a small, unrecognized territory in the Horn of Africa could actually dictate the future of Africa’s development, security, and alliances.

Why America is doubling down on Somaliland as a strategic counter to China
How China’s Belt and Road and deep ties with Africa are being challenged
Why the outcome of this rivalry could reshape Africa’s future for decades

Africa is no longer a pawn, it’s the center stage of global power politics. Will it be drawn toward U.S. militarism and political maneuvering, or China’s infrastructure and economic partnerships? Somaliland might just be the breaking point that shows us the answer.
