I'm as skeptical, and maybe more so, than your average citizen as to the foreign relation of this administration, but I am aware that the Horn of Africa (HOA,) is less than 20 miles from Yemen - a radical Islamic bridge into Africa, and one with which our military has strategically place itself.

Payoff/hush money ping
Any “assistance” to Kenya?
Obama is a nasty fascist, and he will promote that black power nationalist view in Africa, we have to be very concerned should Obama start supplying the orange Party in Kenya with tanks, armored vehicles and crew served weapons.That is likely altready being secretly planned, so that Kneya can put to death its democracy and abandon itself to the left and Muslim tyranny.
Oh well, sell them American stuff, they will use it, never maintain it and when it soon fails, discard it alongside the road.
frightening and true!
Most of them will probably be Muslims, and many of them will be supporters of whatever hideous regime is in place in their countries. But why should we expect otherwise from Barry, who said he would “stand with the Muslims.” Using our dollars to lean against, of course.
Well, whoops! there goes the rest of Africa...50% muslim already, and bye bye Kenya. Arabs back in their element.
Read ‘Dark Star Safari’ by Paul Theroux. Many South African blacks are already saying; ‘wish the white man would come back’.
