💭 Former General of the US Army Wesley Clark in 2007:
‘We Are Going to Take-out 7 Countries in 5 Years.’
Former General of the US Army Wesley Clark on the military strategy after 9/11 (Ethiopian New Year’s Day) attacks: “We are going to take out 7 countries in 5 years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing it off with Iran”
A former commander of NATO’s forces in Europe, Clark claims he met a senior military officer in Washington in November 2001 who told him the Bush administration was planning to attack Iraq first before taking action against Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan.
The general’s allegations surface in a new book, The Clark Critique, excerpts from which appear in the latest edition of the US magazine Newsweek.
Clark says after the 11 September 2001 attacks, many Bush administration officials seemed determined to move against Iraq, invoking the idea of state sponsorship of terrorism, “even though there was no evidence of Iraqi sponsorship of 9/11 whatsoever”.
Ousting Saddam Hussein promised concrete, visible action, the general writes, dismissing it as a “Cold War approach”.
Clark criticises the plan to attack the seven states, saying it targeted the wrong countries, ignored the “real sources of terrorists”, and failed to achieve “the greater force of international law” that would bring wider global support.
“There was no evidence of Iraqi sponsorship of 9/11 whatsoever”
He also condemns George Bush’s notorious Axis of Evil speech made during his 2002 State of the Union address. “There were no obvious connections between Iraq, Iran, and North Korea,” says Clark.
Clark points the finger at what he calls “the real sources of terrorists – US allies in the region like Egypt, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia”.
Clark blames Egypt’s “repressive policies”, Pakistan’s “corruption and poverty, as well as Saudi Arabia’s “radical ideology and direct funding” for creating a pool of angry young men who became “terrorists”.

❖ Aksum, Also Called Axum, is The Ancient Capital of The Aksumite Empire, Situated on The Present-Day Tigray Region of Ethiopia
The Aksumite Empire emerged in the former historical kingdom of Dʿmt, first documented in a trading guide called the ‘Periplus of the Erythraean Sea’ from around the mid-1st century AD.
According to the Periplus text, the position of the Aksumite Empire in international terms, played an important role in the transcontinental trade route between Rome and India from an early stage. Aksum was sufficiently remote never to have come into open conflict with Rome, nor suffered from punitive expeditions from nearby kingdoms such as Egypt or Meroë.
The Aksumite Empire began to mint coins from about AD 270, mimicking the design of traditional Roman coins with a bust of the ruler in profile. Coinage gave the Aksumite economy a central emphasis from which every aspect of the state’s functions could operate, with the Aksum monetary system of coinage linked with that of the Romans and Byzantines for trade.
The Empire extended across most of present-day Eritrea, northern Ethiopia, Western Yemen, and parts of eastern Sudan. The Aksumites developed a civilisation of considerable sophistication, and a unique alphabetic system called the Ge’ez script (also known as Ethiopic), evolving into an abugida segmental writing system.
The Empire was centred on the capital of Aksum near the base of the Adwa mountains, situated to control both the highland and coastal regions of northern Ethiopia.
Water appears to be an important element to the Aksumites, as the name of Aksum is thought to be composed of two works, ‘ak’ and ‘shum’, the first of Cushitic and the second of Semitic origin, roughly translated as ‘water’ and ‘chieftain’.
The city reached its apex during the 3rd and 4th century AD by the construction of monumental royal tombs, each marked by a huge monolithic stelae. The stelae were ornately carved with false doors and windows, the largest of which measures 33 metres in height (comparable in size to the larger obelisks of Ancient Egypt), supported by a massive underground stone counterweight.
In the centre of the city was the Ta’akha Maryam, a giant 6th century palace complex that covered an area of 103,334 square metres, much larger than many contemporary palaces found across Europe at the time.
To the west is the Dungur, known locally as the Palace of the legendary Queen of Sheba. The Dungur was a multi-storey palace complex that dates from the 7th century AD, covering an area of around 3,250 square meters.
How widespread the city was formerly is not yet known, but it has been assumed that less permanent habitations were constructed around the substantial dwellings of the Ta’akha Maryam, the Dungur, and other large structures such as the Enda Sem`on and Enda Mikael as described in the 15th century ‘Book of Aksum’.
The slow collapse of the empire started around the 7th century, further escalated by the Persian presence in the Red Sea that caused Aksum to suffer economically. The population of the city went into decline due to intensive farming that caused severe erosion, in combination with a loss of the international profits generated from the exchange network it had developed over the centuries.
The Aksumite Empire ended with the last King, Dil Na’od who was defeated by his former General Mara Takla Haymanot, founding the Agaw Zagwe dynasty. According to legend, a son of Dil Na’od fled in exile, whose descendants eventually overthrow the Agaw Zagwe and established the Solomonic dynasty around AD 1270.
💭 My Note: It’s not by coincidence that Bill Gates and co made Dr. Tedros (who is from Axum, where the ark is located) head of the World Health Organization. So there may be a biological spice that can be added to the Nile river now. After they do this, the people of Egypt will cease to exist, as many biblical prophecies told us. It means that the wild donkey Ishmaelite Arabs and their Edomites allies will open the next and last Jihad against Ethiopian Christians.
The World Health Organization warned Tuesday that fighters in conflict-ravaged Sudan had occupied a central public laboratory holding samples of diseases including polio and measles, creating an “extremely, extremely dangerous” situation.
Fighters “kicked out all the technicians from the lab… which is completely under the control of one of the fighting parties as a military base,” said Nima Saeed Abid, the WHO’s representative in Sudan.
He did not say which of the fighting parties had taken over the laboratory.
Abid said he had received a call from the head of the national laboratory in Khartoum on Monday, a day before a US-brokered 72-hour ceasefire between Sudan’s warring generals officially came into effect after 10 days of urban combat.
“There is a huge biological risk associated with the occupation of the central public health lab,” said Abid.
He pointed out that the lab held so-called isolates, or samples, of a range of deadly diseases, including measles, polio and cholera.
The director of the lab had also warned of the danger that “depleting stocks of blood bags risk spoiling due to lack of power,” Abid said.
“In addition to chemical hazards, bio-risk hazards are also very high due to lack of functioning generators,” he said.
The UN health agency also said that it had confirmed 14 attacks on healthcare during the fighting, killing eight and injuring two.
The fighting in Sudan has pitted forces loyal to army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan against those of his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The Sudanese health ministry has put the number of deaths so far at 459, with a further 4,072 wounded, the WHO said Tuesday, adding that it had not be able to verify that number.
The UN refugee agency meanwhile said it was bracing for up to 270,000 people to flee Sudan into neighbouring Chad and South Sudan.
Laura Lo Castro, the UN refugee agency’s representative in Chad, said some 20,000 refugees had arrived there since the fighting began 10 days ago.
Speaking to reporters in Geneva via video-link, she said the agency expected up to 100,000 “in the worst case scenario”.
Her colleague in South Sudan, Marie-Helene Verney, meanwhile said that around 4,000 of the more than 800,000 South Sudanese refugees living in Sudan had returned home since the fighting began.
Looking forward, she told reporters that “the most likely scenario is 125,000 returns of South Sudanese refugees into South Sudan.”
In addition, she said, UNHCR expected up to 45,000 Sudanese to flee as refugees into South Sudan.

👉 Sudan is another playground for Hegelian Process: ‘Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis’ + Problem – Reaction – Solution”
Reunion of The Evil War Criminals and Genociders: 1.5 Million Christians Massacred – Mission Accomplished!
The evil fascist Oromo regime of Ethiopia is more worried about the fate of foreign nationals than hundreds of thousands of its ‘own’ citizens languishing in the refugee camps in Sudan for more than two years.
As we hear on the video, evil Abiy Ahmed Ali told „The New Yorker Magazine„ the following:
“In the Iraq War, I fought with them,” he said. “I was the one who would send intelligence from this part of the world to the N.S.A., on Sudan and Yemen and Somalia. The N.S.A. knows me. I would fight and die for America.”
So, where are: the US? Europe? UN? AU? WHO? AI? HRW?
Well, this evil world doesn’t care, but The Almighty Egziabher God is looking for them.
The US government has praised Ethiopia for lending a helping hand in evacuation efforts, as foreign governments scramble to rescue their diplomats, staff and citizens trapped in Sudan.
World powers US and the UK have airlifted their diplomats from Khartoum, but some countries who were unable to airlift their citizens have been using other options, including travel by road through the borders of Ethiopia and Djibouti.
Evacuees are entering Ethiopia through the Galabat-Metema border crossing from where they will travel to the capital Addis Ababa as they wait to be flown back to their home country.
The government has finalized plans to evacuate Ugandans trapped in Sudan due to the ongoing conflict there.
President Joe Biden said earlier that the US military had completed the evacuation of American embassy personnel in Sudan.
He called for an end to the “unconscionable” violence in the war-torn country and thanked the US troops who extracted the trapped American staffers as Washington shuttered its mission in Khartoum indefinitely.
The staffers were airlifted to an undisclosed location in Ethiopia, according to two US officials familiar with the mission. US troops carried out the operation as fighting between two armed Sudanese commanders – which has killed more than 400, put the nation at risk of collapse, and could have consequences far beyond its borders – moved into a second week.

„The Powerplay Behind Sudan’s Chaos | Wagner Muscle, Russia’s Eye On Gold & Red Sea Port, US Fears„
This tragic conflict has become a part of the large-scale geopolitical strategy aimed, first and foremost, at weakening Russia.
A power struggle between Sudan’s army and its notorious paramilitary force has rocked the country, with more than 50 civilians dead. Residents dodged gunfire in Khartoum as rival forces battled over the presidential palace, state TV and army headquarters. The clashes erupted after tensions over a proposed transition to civilian rule. Since a coup in October 2021, Sudan has been run by a council of generals and there are two military men at the centre of the dispute. The Sudanese army and the RSF are locked in a battle for control, both claiming they have control of key sites in Khartoum. One of the main sticking points between al-Burhan and Hemeti is a move to integrate the 100,000-strong RSF into the army. As the two military men fight for control and power, how is Russia using its Wagner Group to gain influence in the country?
🔥 The Geostrategic Importance of the Horn of Africa and Superpowers’ Interest in the Region
💭 Why do so many foreign powers have military bases in the nearby Djibouti – the former Ethiopian territory?

Djibouti, a country located at the entrance to Bab al-Mandab, where 30% of world trade passes, has become an international phenomenon due to the multiplicity of military bases operating on its territory.
The strategic location of Djibouti is a critical factor in attracting global powers to establish bases and deploy their forces in this African country.
These foreign military bases play a key role in maintaining the security of the country, given the turbulent situation in Yemen and Somalia, the exacerbation of piracy in the western Indian Ocean and the Horn of Africa, in addition to the establishment of strongholds by terrorist groups such as the al-Shabaab group, which has exploited Somalia’s weak governance.
The number of foreign bases in Djibouti ranges between 8 to 11 bases, depending on which sources you consult. The most important base, and the oldest, is the French base.
Since the September 11 attacks, the United States has stepped up its presence in the country, within the “war on terror” framework.
The growing presence of international actors in the tiny African port state, triggered a debate around the country’s security. Djibouti hosts military bases belonging to Germany, Spain, Italy, France, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Japan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia at a very little distance from one another. Russia and India too have strong interests in setting up military bases there.
Sometimes, the proximity can cause friction between nations operating there, with some exchanging accusations of espionage. Russia and India have also expressed interest in establishing bases in the small African country.
👉 The most prominent bases in Djibouti currently are:
☆ France: France maintains its largest foreign military base outside of its borders in Djibouti. About 1,500 soldiers are deployed at the base, performing counter-terrorism missions and guarding nearby sea lanes.
French forces have been in Djibouti since before its independence in 1977 and have have never left the country.
☆ United States: Camp Lemonnier is the primary base of operations for the United States Africa Command in the Horn of Africa. In 2013, the base underwent significant expansion.
Now it includes about 1,000 soldiers from the Special Forces. Drones are usually launched from the base to strike the sites of the Al-Shabaab group in Somalia and East Africa, as well as other extremist organisations. Washington pays $60 million annually in fees for renting the base.
☆ China: China has a military base in the port of Doraleh — an extension of the Port of Djibouti — 5 km west of Djibouti City. It is affiliated with the Navy Department of the Chinese People’s Liberation and is essential in developing Chinese capabilities on the high seas.The base, whose construction began in March 2016, is used for relief operations, emergency aid, and combating piracy. China pays $100 million in rent.
☆ Japan: Japan’s Maritime Self-Defence Force base is located in Ambouli. The Japanese Parliament (the National Diet) approved in 2009 the Anti-Terrorism Law, which allowed the deployment of Japanese forces in the country.
☆ Germany/Spain/ Italy: Forces from Germany, Spain, and Italy are usually active within other bases, primarily the French and American bases. The military infrastructure provided by the two countries is used in a joint framework to prevent piracy and smuggling and to ensure the safe passage of commercial ships through the Bab al-Mandab.

💭 French Pension Protest Blocks Entry to Louvre Museum
Trade union protesters angered by President Emmanuel Macron’s move to raise the French retirement age without a final vote in parliament blocked the Louvre museum in Paris on Monday, frustrating crowds of visitors.
Demonstrating peacefully against plans to make most French work an extra two years to 64 to balance the pension budget, a small number of protesters gathered at the foot of the Louvre’s glass pyramid. One banner read “Retire at 60 – work less to live longer.”
A queue of disappointed tourists snaked through the courtyard.
“This is ridiculous, we come from everywhere in the world with our children to visit a museum and it’s ridiculous that 20 people are blocking the entrance,” said Samuel, a Mexican tourist who did not give his surname.
“I really understand where they’re coming from, and it’s fair enough. But we all would like to go and see ‘Mona Lisa’, but never mind,” said Jane, a visitor from London.
Louvre employees were among the protesters outside the famed musemum. A Louvre tour guide came out to address the visitors. “We hope you understand our reasons,” she said.
The protest came one day ahead of a 10th round of nationwide strikes and street marches and followed violence in cities across France over the pension system changes.
Separately, Paris police said they were carrying out an operation to prevent unauthorised gatherings in front of the Centre Pomopidou, another landmark museum in Paris.
