No NATO country really needs to establish such a huge military base anywhere in Africa. Not only do these countries have other bases and facilities at their disposal, but they also benefit from bilateral or equivalent arrangements, which allow them to move freely around the continent. In addition, the armies of most African countries have become so compromised through their association with military contractors from the imperialist states or the private military and security companies that work in tandem with them, acting as their surrogates.
Kusema kweli hakuna nchi yoyote mwanachama wa NATO inahitaji kuanzisha ama kumiliki kituo kikubwa cha kijeshi kama vile inavyokusudiwa na AFRICOM kwa sababu nchi hizi tayari yana vituo vyao na wanaweza kunufaishwa na mipango baina ya nchi zao na nchi binafsi za Afrika. Mbali na hapo sifa ya majeshi za takriban nchi zote za barani imezorota kwa sababu ya uhusiano wa karibu na wafanyi biashara wa kijeshi kutoka kwa nchi za kibeberu na kibepari ambao wana sifa mbaya ya kueneza njama za kigaidi zinazoenea popote ambapo kuna ukosefu wa maendeleo.
