Thanks to the dwindling primary natural resources, oil and gas, the
West is hounding Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Sudan's al-Bashir, and
heaping blame on Russia and China for protecting them; thus setting
the stage for a new Cold War to be fought in Africa.

The last Cold War saw the savage murder or violent overthrow by the
British, Americans, Belgians, French and Portuguese of nationalist
African leaders including Patrice Lumumba, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Luis
Cabral, Eduardo Mondlane, Samora Marcel, Milton Obote, Hamed Sekou
Toure, Gamel Abdel Nasser and Ahmed Ben Bella who were dubbed
terrorists or Russian and Chinese sympathizers.
