"NEW WORLD ORDER" AND THE GENOCIDE IN AFRICA
HOW CLINTON BETRAYED THE AFRICANS
Bill Clinton perpetuated a policy of distabilization crafted by his predecessors Bush Sr, William Cohen and James Baker, that was euphimistically called the New World Order. This policy has resulted in the deaths of millions of Africans: Latest estimate is at a staggering 7 (Seven) million Africans dead due to hostile US policy since 1988.
The US state department was warned about a potential explosion in the great lakes region in 1988, while George Bush Sr, was still president of the USA. The State department, under Secreatary of State Jim Baker, took the position that adherence to human rights agenda for the region would undermine the regimes allies Mobutu, Museveni and Habyarimana, and that they did not trust that these people would be replaced by individuals "favourable to US interests". Jim Baker and William Cohen, then in charge of crafting African policy, had decided that the NEW WORLD ORDER theory demanded this bizarre arrangement.
When Clinton came to the presidency, he sealed Africa's coffin by retaining the two individuals in US foreign affairs and at the US Department of Defense; Jim Baker became special point man on Africa and William Cohen became Secretary of Defence. The two men were the highest ranking and only hold overs from the one-term George Bush Sr's administration.
Jim Baker and Will Cohen were not only responsible for crafting a policy that defeated any attempts to prevent the genocide in Rwanda, but their policies and methods in fact PRECIPITATED the Genocide...and as well not just the Genocide in Rwanda, but the disorderly collapse of Zaire (DRC), the continuing holocaust in Uganda, the escalation of the violence in Burundi, the clashes in Kenya, and the failure of Somalia, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Liberia and Algeria.
ETHNIC CLEASING WAS COHEN'S & BAKER'S INTERNATIONAL LEGACY
Not only did Cohen's policy inadequacies bury Africans, but he intentionally destroyed Europeans as well. We could say that he is an equal opportunity person when it concerns horrors and genocide. Prior to and after Rwanda he went after the Slavs in an orgy of ethnic cleasing. Bosnia is squarely Cohen's and Baker's fault (and that includes supplying weapons while ostensibly the region was under a weapons embargo). African regimes that were supported by the US were instrumental in undermining the UN and NATO embargoes. In 1993 Uganda's national carrier had one of its planes impounded in Yugoslavia while tranferring weapons during the embargo.
By 1998 public statements by Cohen sent the descending Bosnia situation into irrecoverable dive. Cohen told anyone who would listen that U.S. troops would be out of Bosnia by June 1998, regardless of the consequences.
"We are not going to be there," Cohen told his former colleagues at his chummy confirmation hearings. If Serbs, Muslims, and Croatians "go back to slaughtering each other" in Bosnia, Cohen declared "it's going to be up to them." For those hunkered down in the Balkan mud, Cohen's pronouncements only reinforced their growing sense that all the time they have invested in the peacekeeping mission was in vain. The effect on the Serbs and their opponents was electrifying and a source of explosive desparation. The rest is history.
Cohen opposed the Bosnia mission from the beginning. He opposed the Rwanda mission vehemently, especially because of the humiliation the US suffered in Somalia where his subordinate and Somalia pointman, Admiral Howe, proved a failure and was handed a career ending discharge for various disastrous episodes (including the deaths of 70 unarmed civilians, and US army attacks on international relief aid workers).
"Since Cohen took office", a senior official complianed, "U.S. policy has been 'stagnating and beginning to move backwards.'" There is a "sense of drift and fatigue," both in the United States and among our European allies.
The problem was not primarily Cohen, of course, but the man who appointed him to run the Pentagon. The shockingly low level of Bill Clinton's commitment to his own policies in Bosnia and Africa was never more clearly demonstrated than when he named this staunch opponent of the mission to oversee the execution of military strategy.
Who were the pawns in Cohen's policy of "Let them slaughter each other"? Museveni, Moi, Meles, and Afwerki, and their proteges, most notably Kagame and Joseph Kabila (the so called new breed of leader). Those African leaders who refused to play the Cohen game are now dead, killed by the betrayers listed here.
