AFRICOM IN South Sudan, Good news or bad news?

For as long as I have been a member of ACAS (Association of Concerned Africa Scholars) an association affiliated to the ASA, i kept hearing about how politicians build their schemes for Africa. We all boycotted any funds from the CIA and sought to propagate info.
here is a link to ACAS Bulletin. Old Articles, according to date yes, but the issue is still hot. Now I read about AFRICOM in South Sudan, i thought may be people should revisit the issue.

at the end of the article at this link http://concernedafricascholars.org/bulletin/78/
you will see links to the following articles, I hope you are interested.
