Helicopter death of Sudan's new Vice President and southern Sudanese
rebel chief Dr. John Garang fits a pattern in Africa. Plane "accidents"
are America's and Britain's preferred method for disposing of unwanted leaders,
especially in Africa. At the time of his death, Garang was under the
protection of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, a close Bush, Blair, and Sharon
ally. Garang had just entered into a power sharing agreement between his southern
Sudanese, mainly Christian and African liberation Sudan People's Liberation
Movement, and Sudan's northern and mainly Arab and Islamic central government
after a lengthy and bloody civil war. Ethnically diverse Northern and southern
Sudan are known to straddle immense oil reserves -- and they are being exploited
by Chinese oil companies much to the consternation of U.S. and British oil companies
and the Bush and Blair administrations. Donald Rumsfeld's private special forces
teams are operating throughout Africa, especially in Uganda

Garang, a one-time Marxist, may have outlived his usefulness to Washington
and the Bush administration. He would join Savimbi, Mobutu, Kabila, and other
African leaders as "throw aways" for the corporations that determine
America's Africa policy. U.S. oil and military policies in the Rift Valley are
centered on Uganda's Museveni, Rwanda's Kagame, and Ethiopia's Meles. No others
need apply.
According to a Secret United Nations memo from March 1997, Museveni's (and
those of his ally, U.S. military client Paul Kagame of Rwanda) fingerprints
were all over the aerial assassination of the Rwandan and Burundian Presidents
in 1994, an event that triggered the worst genocide since World War II and the
eventual dismemberment of Congo/Zaire. Museveni supplied the Russian-made Igla
series surface-to-air missiles, captured by U.S. forces in Iraq during Operation
Desert Storm and used by Kagame's Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) to shoot down
the Rwandan presidential aircraft. After seizing power in Rwanda, Kagame, with
U.S. and British assistance, launched two invasions of Congo. Congo's fracture
and the eventual assassination of Congolese President Laurent D. Kabila, with
a wink and a nod from Washington and London, was a boon for U.S, British, and
Israeli gold and diamond miners. Kellogg, Brown & Root/Halliburton helped
Angola track down and assassinate Ronald Reagan's "George Washington of
Africa," Dr. Jonas Savimbi, Angola's UNITA rebel leader. That was a boon
for U.S. oil companies and British and Israeli diamond and gold miners. And
to ensure that Angola's government remained a central player in UN negotiations
between Luanda and rebel UNITA forces, UN envoy and chief negotiator Alioune
Blodin Beye's aircraft suspiciously crashed on its final stage of landing at
Abidjan airport, in Beye's native Ivory Coast.
Niger's Tuareg leader Mano Dayak was killed in a suspicious plane crash in
Niger a year and a half after the shooting down of the Rwanda One aircraft.
As with the Rwandan and Burundi leaders with their opposition, Dayak was engaged
in peace negotiations with the central Niger government and was on his way to
Niamey when the plane crashed. However, an autonomous Tuareg government threatened
to undermine the plans of Exxon and other U.S. oil companies and mineral miners
to have a free hand in exploiting oil and mineral resources around Lake Chad,
along the Chadian-Nigerien border. Equato-Guinean officials were mum about who
and how many people died in a recent plane crash near the capital Malabo. Equatorial
Guinea, an oil rich but immensely poor African nation, was recently in the news
as a result of the exposure of slush funds maintained by the former Riggs Bank
of Washington, DC on behalf of Equatorial Guinea's dictator Teodoro Obiang.
President Bush's uncle, Jonathan, was a senior executive with Riggs.
It is imperative to exercise a healthy dose of skepticism whenever there is
a plane crash involvingkey political figures in Africa. We know from history
that colonialist and apartheid forces were involved in the shooting down of
the aircraft of UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold and Mozambican President
Samora Machel.
Are aerial assassinations in Africa influenced by Big Oil? Yes. The wreckage
of Rwanda One Mystere Falcon executive jet (top) carrying Presidents of Rwanda
and Burundi, their staff, and a French crew; ordered shot down on April 6, 1994
by U.S. clients Yoweri Museveni and Paul Kagame. Major oil and natural gas reserves
had been discovered in Rwanda, Uganda, and Sudan. Soon, Museveni met with British
officials of Heritage Oil (left) and Kagame with Shell Oil officials (right).
Now, Garang's death in one of Museveni's helicopters may presage the fracture
of Sudan and that will be a boon for U.S. oil companies and British and Israeli
gold and diamond miners. The trend is unmistakable. War crimes are being committed
in Africa every day and Washington, London, and Tel Aviv rake in abominable
profits.
Garang's helicopter crashed after it departed Museveni's ranch at Rwakitura,
about 200 miles southwest of Kampala, near the Rwandan border. Garang was on
his way back to New Site, his base in southern Sudan, after meeting with Museveni.
