Under the influence of social development, weather and geology, the difficulty of long-distance route operation and maintenance gradually increases. In this paper, a ground station system suitable for taking off and landing in different places is developed to make the fixed wing UAV no longer fly back, improve the length of single flight operation, optimize flight efficiency, and solve the problem that inspection personnel still need to travel by bus.

“…Scholars remain divided on the effectiveness of the policy, with Zeleza (2013, 174) stating that Africans "don't trust the military as a partner in development, and fear mission creep for AFRICOM to militarization and securitization of economic relations with the US". China is a critic of AFRICOM, arguing that the US' presence within Djibouti is detrimental to counterterrorism operations because they generate further instability (Allen 2018).…”

This research note examines the tensions between the United States and the People’s Republic of China in Djibouti. Djibouti has become a battleground of interests between the US and China with both building military bases on its territory. The People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) utilises its base to conduct naval operations and to implement the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), often conflicting with US operations and interests. The research note relies on primary documents to investigate the interaction between the two states over Djibouti and to assess whether and how China’s presence is an obstacle to US counterterrorism operations. This analysis indicates that a conflict of interests between the US and China is inevitable, but the US’ counterterrorism operation in Djibouti can be protected from the diplomatic conflict.

“…The purpose was to develop long-term cooperative relationships and contingencies for managing international crises of mutual concern to the United States and African nations. 7 In addition, the US military established an official base and dozens of small facilities and staging areas that collectively host thousands of US troops (Allen 2018). President Bush described AFRICOM as an effort to bring peace and security to Africa and promote the goals of development, health, education, democracy, and economic growth in Africa (Dolanmay 2017).…”

Trumping Development: Selective Delinking and Coercive Governmentality in US–Africa Relations

Globalization is one of the most important socioeconomic processes of recent decades, but it has elicited a reactionary backlash in some countries, leading to calls for reform. President Trump's rise to power in the United States and his determination to rewrite his country's involvement in globalization have brought substantial changes to foreign policy, including the US-Africa relationship. His administration's policies appear undeveloped, but we can determine distinct trends and tendencies. This article examines the effects of these policies on Africa to argue that they go beyond a return to the benign neglect shown by many US presidents before the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations, to include a malign governmental gaze, exemplifying a retreat from US global hegemony through selective delinking in aid, and manifesting economic and security interests in Africa in particularly detrimental ways.
