Phosphate: une mine d'or pour le Maroc?

[jawzia]

It is not absurd..

Of course, It is !!!!
The complete sentence is :

The Pentagon claims that AFRICOM is all about integrating coordination and "building partner capacity." But the new structure is really about securing oil resources, countering terrorism, and rolling back Chinese influence.

.... in Africa.

"Copy, paste and cut" inevitably leads to "absurd statements".
In the same document (by the same authors - Daniel Volman and Beth Tuckey) , we find more explanations :

Professional military officers have made it clear that the new Africa Command has three main purposes.

• First and foremost, the new command's main mission is to protect American access to Africa's oil and other resources, preferably by enhancing the ability of African allies to guard these resources themselves on behalf of the United States.
  
  
• The new command will also expand and intensify counter-terrorism operations in Africa and will make the continent a central battlefield in the Global War on Terror.
  
  
• Finally, the new command is designed to counter China's efforts to increase its influence and its access to African oil and other raw materials.
