Out of Africa

Here's an interesting development as relates to oil development in Africa - specifically Nigeria and the tiny island nation of Sao Tome in the Gulf of Guinea. And here's a story out of Africa about U.S. Marines training soldiers from nine African nations how to better combat terrorists. If and when an accurate history of the Bush administration is written, I suspect one chapter will focus on the sucess of its quiet diplomatic efforts in this region. For more on Sao Tome and its rising importance to the U.S. in both economic and strategic terms, click here and follow the links.
