Yeah, this has been kicking about since at least 2007. As far as I know, Sata actually supported the previous Zambian president’s rejection of America’s plans to set up the Africom base in Zambia.In South Africa there has been extensive coverage of that fool,Julius Malema, infamously calling Botswana a “puppet of the imperialist United States” who he alleges is considering allowing a US base there.At any rate, rumour has it we’ll know by next year who will succumb to the US’s lure to set up a local base for Africom, beyond the existing lilypad agreements in a dozen or so African countries.
