Facts Africa returns this week with another fact which is becoming a major concern from a security perspective. Currently, there are 13 countries with known military bases or presence in Africa. Djibouti alone host about 8 foreign military bases, including the US, France, China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Italy and Germany. Why has Africa become a military play ground for foreign countries. Do you think these military bases constitute some form of interference and contribute to the incessant political instability on the continent? Or these military bases are rather ensuring relative peace and security on the continent?
