The trend with Africom bears some watching, sure, but the article already notes that the (influential) SADC bloc stood firm against any Africom bases, which should be a strong hint. Liberia is a shoe-in for Africom; Morocco is a faux democracy at best. It's not exactly substantial progress.

I don't see a single word on why Nigeria would be particularly "doomed".

I can't recall seeing much news/propaganda about Sudan becoming prey for Al Quaeda either. Do we read the same things? If you'd written Somalia, then perhaps I could agree.

I am afraid Goldfinger did go to Sudan... or so thinks the Council on Foreign Relations:
    State Sponsors: Sudan

Does Sudan sponsor terrorism?

Despite increasing cooperation by Sudan, the U.S. State Department continues to formally designate it as a "state sponsor of terrorism." The State Department first labeled Sudan a sponsor of terrorism on August 12, 1993. Since then, the United States has accused Sudan of harbouring members of al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Abu Nidal Organization, Jamaat al-Islamiyya, and Egyptian Islamic Jihad, each classified as a terrorist organization.


Not that it matters, since it is all nothing more than Neo-liberal propaganda.
