Alwaght- Britain is expanding its interventionist policies in Africa by sending troops to Libya, Somalia and Sudan.
British Special Forces have already been deployed in Libya under the pretext of fighting ISIS terrorist group. Reports say approximately 6,000 European and US troops, including 1,000 British troops, will be involved in a number of operations in the North African state.
Since the US-led war which deposed the regime of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, Libya has largely collapsed. Apart from the ISIS threat, the country is now used as a conduit to illegal migrants flocking to Europe through the Mediterranean Sea.
The report of further British involvement in Libya comes after it was announced British troops have been deployed to South Sudan as part of a UN peacekeeping mission there.
Britain plans to between 250 and 300 troops to South Sudan to join the UN force supposedly charged with implementing this peace deal.
The common point between Libya and South Sudan is that both countries are oil-rich and thus of great interests to Britain.
Other reports indicate that Britain is planning to send troops to Somalia to supposedly assist African Union forces fighting against the al Shabab extremist group.
Other Western countries especially the US and France are also expanding their military presence in Africa. This presence in Africa has not brought about stability but only more internal strife and economic exploitation.
