السياسة الأمريكية تجاه إفريقيا و المغرب العربي

Abstract EN

America has been linked to Africa throughout its contemporary history, but unlike Europe, it became involved in African affairs quite recently.

U.S.

policy has been avoiding any serious political commitment anywhere in Africa.

United States’ policy towards Africa remained limited and resulted in a policy characterized as “non policy” “neglect”, “weak and nonreactive”.

Among all the international issues, the U.S administration has faced, Africa remained one of the most neglected case and center of interest.

The U.S department did not have an African desk until Kennedy American domestic polity at that time and Africa was at the center of Europe's competition and rivalry.

The struggle of African American for humanity dignity is not isolated event.

The rapid changes occurring in Africa “naturally influenced the thinking of the “American Negro”.

Lately in 1976, Kissinger U.S state secretary recognized the importance of Africa to the maintenance of U.S.

national interests.

Creating US Africa Command (AFRICOM) reflects a growing recognition of US strategic interests in Africa and of a need to influence more effectively the security environment to protect and promote these interests.

AFRICOM symbolizes a new level of US commitment and identifies the United States as a significant stakeholder in Africa.

The new command does not imply a militarization of US policy in the region.

AFRICOM is a success if it keeps American troops out of Africa for the next 50 years.

A large part of AFRICOM’s mandate will be to build the indigence capacity of African defense forces and the command will concentrate much of its energies and resources on training and assistance to professionalize local militaries so that they can better ensure stability and security on the continent.
