CENTCOM + EUCOM + USPACOM = USAFRICOM

A new military command for Africa.  About damn time, too.  Just as the article says, it’s becoming a more and more important region.  They’re keeping Egypt as part of CENTCOM as part of the Middle East, but frankly…  Though I think the rest of Africa should be unified into one command, instead of split between USPACOM, CENTCOM, and EUCOM, I still believe that other nations considered part of the Middle East, such as Morrocco and Tunisia, should remain a part of CENTCOM as well as Egypt.

Ryan Henry said that the Bush administration believed Africa needed more attention.  Understatement of the year, perhaps, but I guess forming a seperate command for Africa is a start.

Hopefully this will lead to good things for Darfur?
