The Stabilization of North Africa

 

A world without borders and walls invites chaos, invasion, warfare, and, ultimately, the destruction of civilizations.


The "political elites" in Europe and the West welcome renewed threats to civilization from every geopolitical horizon since their primary policy aim for decades has been to bring the world down and rebuild upon the ashes. 

In addition to a new Jerusalem they want to create a new Babylon.

They have long identified overpopulation as their biggest global concern rather than global poverty, illegal mass migration, the global drugs, human, and arms trade, environmental catastrophes, financial corruption, and political instability. 

We know their ideology. We know their methods. We know their aims. We know they are pedophile psychopaths who hide behind masks. We know they don't identify with any nation or the people they were elected to lead. And we know a global genocide is their ultimate goal. 

The deliberate destruction of the fertile soil of Ukraine, the shutting down of farms in the Netherlands, and soon across Europe and North America, are being done to diminish grain and food supplies on a global scale. 

They want to eventually use the weapon of world starvation. All empires have used this weapon against their slave colonies for political purposes. It only makes sense that the global empire of our day which views all nations as slave colonies would want this weapon in their arsenal as well.

Besides controlling the food supply, they're also coordinating population transfers across entire continents. It is about playing God and manipulating the destiny of nations, not advancing diversity, tolerance, and multiculturalism.

The sacrifice of Ukraine, the genocide in Gaza, the Covid 19 scam, are all precursors to the global genocide that's been in the works for quite some time.

Europe's globalist leaders took part in the destruction of Ukraine and Libya, which are against the security interests of Europe, not just because they were ordered to by the Hannibal Lecters of Washington, but because they sincerely believe that such wars will help fulfill their shared goal of global depopulation. 

Since NATO's criminal destruction of Libya in 2011 North Africa has been in a downward spiral to complete chaos. The floodgates from Africa to Europe were opened with Gaddafi's assassination and the Arab riots they engineered. And they are not interested in stabilizing the strategic region anytime soon.

An excerpt from, "Introduction: Europe's interlocking interests in North Africa" By Anthony Dworkin, from, "Five Years On: A New European Agenda For North Africa," European Council on Foreign Relations, 2016:
Today, the picture in North Africa is very different. A new strongman in Egypt has overseen a crackdown on his political opponents that is harsher than before the revolution. Libya has descended into chaos and extremism, while Tunisia’s new democracy remains fragile, beset by economic problems and terrorism.  Reform in Morocco and Algeria has slowed, if not stalled. Far from becoming a beachhead of democratic progress in the Arab world, North Africa is fighting to stave off disorder. Waves of migrants are passing through the region to Europe, and terrorist groups are an increasingly severe threat in several North African countries.
An excerpt from, "The European Reconquest of North Africa" By Archibald Cary Coolidge, The American Historical Review, 1912: 
The region we commonly call North Africa, using this designation in its narrowest sense, comprises the territories of Morocco, Algeria, Tunis, and Tripoli. In almost every respect it is clearly separated from the rest of the huge continent of which it forms a part. Geographically, it is cut off from the Sudan by the Sahara, a greater obstacle to communication than the broadest ocean. Ethnographically, it is the home of a Mediterranean people and not of the typical African race, the negro, who is represented here only by some scattered descendants of slaves, brought in, like those of our own South, against their wills, and less numerous in proportion to the rest of the population than is the case in the United States. Historically, Africa Minor, as some call it, has been in its economic and political relations, in its culture, and in its civilization, at times a part of Asia, at times a part of Europe, but never to more than a slight extent a real portion of its own continent. Its influence has indeed penetrated to the south, but in return it has received little more than the products of a scarce, though long-continued, caravan trade, mostly in human flesh, taking months to crawl painfully across the scorched wastes of the desert. Even with the valley of the Nile it is connected by sea rather than by land, for east of Tunis the Sahara advances to the very waters of the Mediterranean, forming in spite of its scattered oases a barrier which has been crossed by but few armies and by only one considerable migration in the last three thousand and more years.

The chief structural features of Africa Minor are simple. The territory consists of a long strip of land bounded on the north by the Mediterranean, on the south by the Sahara, on the east by the Gulf of Tripoli and the Libyan Desert, on the west by the Atlantic. From the Straits of Gibraltar almost to the Gulf of Carthage the mountains continually skirt the sea, rising sharply from it in their western portion, the Rif, but gradually becoming lower and less severe as they proceed eastward. They are intersected by river valleys which form lands suitable for cultivation and settlement and also offer the means, but not always easy means, of communication with the interior. Ordinarily a sharp ascent leads from the coast to the high inland plateaus. 

The plateaus are terminated on the south by another range of mountains from which there is a sudden descent to the desert. North Africa thus consists of three main regions---first, the littoral or Tell with its slopes and valleys, numerous disconnected sea-ports, a sedentary population and south European climate and products; second, the plateaus, with greater extremes of temperature and scanty rainfall, a region suitable to pastoral rather than to agricultural life, with a population as yet largely nomadic; and third, the torrid Sahara, a waste of stone and sand, stretching indefinitely to the southward, for the most part uninhabitable, but dotted here and there with oases.This threefold division is most plainly marked in Algeria. In Tunis the mountains are lower, the transitions are less sudden, and there is sea on two sides. Accordingly the country is more open and accessible, and is in natural, easy communication with Sicily and Italy.
Tripoli is nineteen-twentieths desert except in the peninsula of Cyrenaica. In Morocco the wild mountains of the Rif that have long proved an effective barrier against the advance of Spain are nevertheless, nothing but an offshoot. The true ranges of the Atlas here run to the southwest till they meet the ocean, enclosing between them and the Rif a territory which looks not to the Mediterranean but to the Atlantic. This explains why Morocco has not been pre-eminently a Mediterranean state. Only a part of it was ever occupied by the Romans, and the whole proved beyond reach of the Turks. Morocco until lately has had little to do with any European country outside of the Spanish peninsula, and in the hour of its weakness in the sixteenth century it was threatened by Portugal rather than by Castile. On the other hand it has more than once drawn fresh strength from the desert tribes dwelling to the south of it, and for a moment its dominion was acknowledged on the banks of the Niger.

The recorded history of North Africa begins with its colonization by an Asiatic people, the Phoenicians, whose earliest settlements there appear to have been made somewhat less than a thousand years before the Christianl era. Carthage, the most important of them, was founded not far from 800 B. C., and from that time for some six and a half centturies the history and civilization of Africa Minor may fairly be regarded as Asiatic. From the frontier of the Greek territory in Cyrene to beyond the Straits, the whole coast, besides mnuch of the interior, was under the sway of the great Tyrian colony with its sanguinary Oriental gods and its
Semitic talent for mercantile enterprise.

The Third Punic War marks the end of this first period of Asiatic rule although the Punic language did not disappear for many generations. As late as the time of the emperor Septimius Severus it was the native tongue of the district in which he was born. North Africa gradually passed under Roman domination, but we may date the new epoch in its culture as beginning with the refounding of Carthage by Julius Caesar. Thenceforth the region was in reality a part of Europe and remained so for seven hundred more years. The provinces of Africa, Numidia, and the Mauretanias were integral portions of the empire, partaking in the common life and civilization and contributing their quota of celebrated men to the glory of Rome. St. Augustine, the greatest of all Latin church fathers, was born in the present Algerian department of Constantine. So little were these provinces regarded as forming a territory unto themselves that they were later distributed between the prefectures of Italy and of Gaul. It is true that in the rural districts the mass of the people, like those in Britain, were never Latinized, and that the Berbers of the mountain and desert remained as independent as did the Picts and Scots, and like them grew increasingly troublesome in the days when the strength of the empire had decayed. But the land was studded with prosperous towns whose ruins attest to the splendor which was once theirs. The amphitheatre that still looms up near the village of el Djem in Tunis is larger than that at Pompeii or at Arles. To all intents and purposes Roman Carthage was long the second city in western Europe.

For a brief space North Africa came under a new master when, like the rest of the Western Empire, it was overrun by German barbarians. But the rule of the Vandals was short, leaving no traces behind it except that it accelerated the process that had already set in of decay of the civilized portion of the community and of recrudescence of strength on the part of the untamed Berber tribes.

In the latter part of the seventh century there burst a storm from the east that swept all before it. An Asiatic people new to history, the Mohammedan Arabs, in the first fervor of their conquering zeal, made their way across from Egypt, subduing, though not without struggles, Romans and Berbers alike, till within a generation they had penetrated to the Atlantic and across the Straits into Spain. Their own numbers were few, but their creed was speedily accepted by their new subjects who hastened to enroll themselves under the banner of militant Islam. Then for a second time North Africa became Asiatic. The Latin tongue and culture vanished from the land as completely as had the Phoenician. Its place was taken by Arabic and though the Berbers, thanks to superior numbers, soon reasserted themselves politically, for them, too, Arabic has ever since been the language of religion and of law, of learning and of civilization. From about the beginning of the eighth century until the year 1830, and in a measure until the present day, North Africa under Arab, Berber, and Turk, in its life and its thought has formed a part of Mohammedan Asia. The medieval universities of Fez and of Samarkand, despite the two thousand miles between them, were as fundamentally alike as were those of Oxford and Paris.
