The situation in Sierra Leone is
virtually anarchic.
The enduring acute instability in
Sierra Leone is a legacy of imperialist colonisation by the West together with
the inherently contradictory and limited character of imperialism's
post-colonial relationship to Africa --particularly in the form of the
US.
The situation is so adverse that US
imperialism and its subalterns are currently unable to do anything to stabilise
the situation. There current demarche is farcical in the light of the
fact that any opportunity they had to stabilise the situation could only have
existed prior to this present macabre turn of events. Had imperialism a serious
policy for introducing stability to Sierra Leone they would have been already
engaged in implementing such a policy which, if effective, would have reflected
itself in the avoidance of the presently ghastly development. Imperialism's
present feeble demarche in Sierra Leone is a ghastly reflection of the
political bankruptcy of imperialism's African foreign policy and the
severe limitations of imperialism as a regulating system. The inherent
contradictions and limitations of imperialism are manifesting themselves in a
macabre and ghastly fashion in Sierra Leone.
The West is reduced to an
intervention that is nothing more than a feeble cover for its failure and
inability to manage the situation in Sierra Leone. Its military presence in
Sierra Leone is lacking in any strategic focus and constitutes a virtual
panic reaction to a situation that has been getting out of hand for some time
now. Imperialism uses the cover of the UN as a means to obscure any failure of
the demarche by US imperialism and its imperialist subalterns to seriously
stabilise the situation in Sierra Leone. The pathetic situation is that there
exists no revolutionary force capable of filling the virtual political vacuum
there.
The inherent inability of
imperialist capital and what is called globalisation to produce even limited
economic development and the corresponding social and political stability is the
immediate source of the problem.
