With all that has been going on as of late I took special notice of recent activity in Africa, and, as usual, my good friend Texas Fred beat me to posting about it, as well as possible ramifications for those of us here in these not so United States.

The coup in Africa’s newest oil producer took place after the president and prime minister fired the country’s top four military officials, reportedly for supporting lawmakers who had accused the president of corruption and disagreed with how he was reaching out to Islamic hard-liners.
A brief announcement read over state television Wednesday said the new “state council” will be led by presidential guard chief Gen. Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, one of the four fired generals. The statement also restored the jobs of the other three generals.
President Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi was being held by renegade soldiers at the presidential palace in Nouakchott, according to presidential spokesman Abdoulaye Mamadouba. Soldiers also detained Prime Minister Yahya Ould Ahmed Waqef, he said.
State radio and television went off air as the coup began and witnesses said soldiers were deployed throughout the capital. No violence was reported.

Army seizes power in Mauritania
NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania – Army officers upset with government overtures toward Islamic hard-liners staged a coup in Mauritania on Wednesday, overthrowing the first government to be freely elected in this sprawling desert nation in more than 20 years.
Pay close attention to the *reasons* behind this coup, government corruption and reaching out to Islamic hard-liners.
Corruption in the government?? Reaching out to, and generally submitting to Islamic *hard-liners?? Ignoring the safety and well being of the American people as ILLEGAL incursions, ie: armed invasion by Mexican army troops is allowed to happen on numerous occasions? Border patrol agent held at gunpoint
Does anyone besides me see the strong possibility that the USA could very well be headed in the same direction? Does anyone here today think that our own government isn’t guilty of the very same things?
Our Congress is out of control, and is run by a woman that is the most liberal thing to ever take the helm of the House of Representatives. Our Senate is being destroyed by the Dems, and the Dem LITE, ie: the former Republican party. Our President would support immediate amnesty for nearly 20 million ILLEGAL invaders if allowed, all the while allowing our southern border to be over-run.
Our own government has fallen to never before seen levels of disapproval, our President has an unbelievable level of disapproval, our financial markets are a day to day shamble, tremendous losses and reasonable gains, followed by more losses. We don’t have money, we have credit. We are owned by nations not our own.
There is a stage being set, right now, that is ripe for this very action to take place here in the USA. All the causes and reasons are in place, and where is our President today? In Beijing for the opening of the Olympic Games.
So, I guess what we have is this: Nero fiddled while Rome burned
