The Third World War The African Shambles

The West’s retreat from Africa is already a rout, and will soon be a catastrophe.

What is Africa in world geography? The northern littoral of Africa is the southern flank of Europe, as the Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals and Arabs knew in their day as well as the Russians in ours. Northeast Africa is the gate-Way to the land bridge between Asia and Africa. East Africa is the western flank of the Indian Ocean. South Africa is the point clef for the channels between the Indian and Atlantic oceans, critical for East-West sea and air world communications in the southern hemisphere, for Australasia and the Antarctic. Africa’s central regions are an essential staging point for air communication in the equatorial and southern latitudes, and the North-South line from Europe. West Africa is the eastern flank of the Atlantic, with the western bulge suspended over the Caribbean and Brazil.
