AFRICOM says it will work closely with African nations and that its objective will be preventing rather than going to war.
The idea is that AFRICOM will promote democracy and security across the African continent. Some critics charge that AFRICOM could open a new front in the Bush's Administration's war on terrorism. They also claim that the U.S. is going after Africa's oil supplies.
