The Ebola crises in West Africa is another occasion where the whole world gets to see inept leadership in many African countries. There have recently been many postings on social media critical of the United States for deploying military personnel and medical workers to West Africa in response to the Ebola crises. Is this another round-about-way for the U.S. to secure a foothold for the African Command (AFRICOM) based on the continent, something most African leaders have rejected? Is this U.S. taking advantage of every crises in Africa as an excuse to escalate military deployment? Africans should direct their ire at some of the incompetent, corrupt and morally bankrupt leaders in several African countries.
