Biden vows to revive a more respectful Africa policy

U.S. President-elect Joe Biden speaks as U.S. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris looks on during day two of laying out his plan on combating the coronavirus at the Queen theater in Wilmington, Del., on Jan. 15, 2021.Africa is unlikely to be a top priority for Joe Biden when he enters the White House next week. Indeed, it’s rarely a priority for any U.S. president. But the continent will certainly be more prominent on Mr. Biden’s radar than it ever was for Donald Trump.

Both will be influential. Mr. Biden announced that Ms. Thomas-Greenfield will be a full member of his cabinet. She spent years as a diplomat in Liberia, Kenya, Nigeria and Gambia, and later held the top Africa post in the State Department, travelling across the continent from 2013 to 2017. While Mr. Trump seemed indifferent to human-rights issues in Africa, this could change in the Biden administration. Ms. Power has been outspoken in support of causes such as the recent Nigerian protests against police brutality.

I believe that the damage is done. I was listening to Amanpour’s interview with Museveni. African bike dictators are now laughing at the US. It was so disturbing listening to the man.

It is very embarrassing globe and mail is silently watching genocide in Tigray by Abiy Ahmed and Isayas Afeworki.

How about stop talking about Trump, don't keep that mistake alive.

Do it by getting the hell out of their internal matters.

How many troops will be sent to Africa this time?

Wow I guess this is an example of the kind of unbiased, hard hitting analysis of Joe Biden's administration we will be seeing...

When he is President no more children locked in cages 😂.

So not América first, got it.
