Jimmy Olson was really CIA?
The russian guy who exposed Olson, he wasnt really working for the African warlord, he killed all his people, so why did he expose Olsen? What was their goal of killing the warlord's people?
Who were the white people outside in the desert watching Superman go in? Whose side were they on?
Why did the African women and the world blame Supes for killing all those people when clearly they were killed by regular men and weapons??

It IS Jimmy Olsen. Snyder said so himself and also said that in his vision for the DCEU JO didn't have a place and thought it was "cool" to head.shot him.
So, yeah.
Dormammu, I've come to bargain!

Thanks. Watching extended cut now which makes it clearer.

The man introducing himself as Jimmy Olsen was working for CIA but we don't know if it was someone who had borrowed the real Olsen's identity since Lois Lane hadn't worked with him before.
The Russian
worked for Lex Luthor who planned it all to incriminate Superman so it's likely Luthor manipulated the CIA
.
In the extended cut:
The Russian's men burned the bodies, Superman intercepted a missile launched from higher up the chain (despite CIA ops on the ground's objections) and the African woman
was basically reading Luthor's script but eventually came clean to Senator Finch about it
.
The world is divided on Superman which is the point. There's a vocal minority who fears him, a vocal minority who worships him (and a silent majority which is mixed) but Clark just wants to inspire hope and good will.
