I need to find out why the government do not get involved in Africa..And What is so important over seas ?

Answer 1

When you say Africa, I assume you mean the Sudan, and by Government, I assume you mean the US. Okay, here goes: in the Sudan, the Janjaweed who are responsible for the atrocities against the native African tribes are supported by the Sudanese government which is Islamic controlled (as are the Janjaweed). Though people in our government like to say that they march into other countries to bring them freedom, it is really to get cheap oil from them. The Sudan has oil, but the country is 95% land locked. It would take hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructre changes to allow exports of their oil. SO we need to stick with our Islamic suppliers in the gulf region. Our government is too afraid of what those suppliers would do if we went into the Sudan and went against an Islamic controlled government. Keep in mind, this is not a slam against Islam, but historically, our government believes the gulf region thinks like George W.--you're either with us or against us.

Answer 2

There are no natural resources or political relationships that the US can exploit without major conflicts worldwide.

The middle east has oil. We'll always be there.

We aren't invading N. Korea because a small nuclear war that wipes out japan, Taiwan, Korea, etc., give back the the US the techincal advantage on electronics, computers, automotive, etc.

IMO none of the military actions of the last 40 years have had anything to do with maintaining the peace, but more to do with maintaining the status quo at the expense of our soldiers lives.

Answer 3

Which Government? The US Government as well as many of its citizens send aid to Africa all of the time.

Answer 4

U R a little bit late on the news, they found out that plenty of oil there, so what do Y think going to happen next?

Answer 5

If you're asking why African governments aren't involved domestically, what country or countries are you thinking of? AFAIK, each government is domestically involved.

If you're asking why the government of a non-African nation or group of nations doesn't involve itself in the domestic affairs of African nations, it's because of the principle of national sovereignty.

Despite what has happened under the GW Bush regime in the USA and in Iraq, historical and legal precedent (and iirc, the language of international law) prescribed that no governor could be tried for crimes against humanity except by the will of the people formerly governed by that person: the governor was immune from liability while he (or she) was in office.

The assassination of a foreign leader is prohibited under international law, as is the attempted assassination of such a person. Moreover, the attempted or successful forcible removal from office by persons other than the citizens of his (or her) regime is similarly prohibited.

International law prohibits both "formal" espionage and the incitement (whether by persons not citizens of a regime, or by such citizens acting on behalf of or at the direction of such non-citizens) among those governed by a regime of public opinion against that regime.

So, you can see how Bush and the "intelligence services" of the USA have used the US military to commit a series of war crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes against peace. For whatever reason, the UN either hasn't found anyone competent to bring charges against the Bush regime or hasn't the political and moral will to bring GW and his co-conspirators to justice.

As to your question "What is so important overseas," that answer also depends very much on what you mean by your question. For instance, if by "over seas" you mean "above the seas," the answer obviously and immediately brings to mind weather phenomena.

If, on the other hand, by "over seas" you mean "in nations or on continents from which the nation in which I reside is separated by a marine environment," the answer depends very much on your perspective (which is in that case determined by your location).

For instance, if you're in Lyon, France, "over seas" may refer to any or all of the African nations, the American nations, Antarctica and/or Australia, Japan and/or any of the other island nations -- technically (although almost never used in this sense) including Great Britain. Note that Asia and Europe are not in the classical sense separated by seas, but a commoner in France might consider China to be an "overseas" nation.

Even if you're in Alaska, Hawaii isn't considered "overseas," ostensibly because both of those states are members of the USA. Similarly, neither Alaska nor Hawaii is considered overseas from Florida -- or even Canada or Mexico (presumably, because the seat of US government is in the body of land adjacent to and sharing a border with each of those nations).

Describing each possibility is impractical, so I'll just make my point this way: assuming you're in the USA, "overseas" includes almost every other nation in the world -- and roughly 5.7 billion people (as contrasted against the 300 million of the USA).

"Developing" nations have virtually no environmental or labor protection, and "industrial" nations (especially the USA) exploit this to the detriment not only of domestic workers in both countries, but also to the detriment of the planet.

If you're in the USA, you have to understand that 2006 is the first year in the history of the USA in which the USA has been a net food importer: the USA is no longer able to grow enough food to feed itself. So, the welfare of "overseas" nations producing food surpluses is very much of interest to you if you want to be able to eat.

Despite having an economy that is in the throes of death, the USA is a net energy importer: it can't provide for its own energy needs. So, the welfare of "overseas" nations exporting energy products (typically, natural gas and petroleum) is very much of interest to you for virtually every aspect of your life.

Almost everything used in the USA is manufactured abroad. In the USA, the main source for financing housing construction is located in Europe! The USA -- which touts itself as being the wealthiest nation on the planet -- depends for its housing capital on the banks of Europe!

China owns somewhere between a third and half of the US debt. And the USA is insolvent -- meaning that if we liquidated (sold off) EVERYTHING in the USA (all the cars, buildings, trains, planes, ships, factories and copiers and tools and pencils and forests and paper, and all our oil and gas and coal and mineral reserves -- everything), we wouldn't have enough to pay for the debt we've got right now.

In practical terms, that means the fiscal policies of the USA have enslaved us to other nations -- most of whom hate us because of the things done overseas in our name by our government, and because of the things done overseas in our name by companies representing the USA.

And at the end of the day, THAT (the opinions your owners have of you) is what is important overseas.
