Is it time for a ‘reset’ of the US strategy in Africa? | The Bottom Line

  • The days of Africa's resources being used to benefit Western powers instead of the African people are dwindling, argues the former representative of the African Union to the United States, Arikana Chihombori-Quao.
    Although a string of recent coups may give the impression that African nations are turning their back on the West, and looking more towards Russia and China, this is an oversimplification, according to the former diplomat.
    She tells The Bottom Line host Steve Clemons that the US would be wise to decouple its policy from that of France if it wants to regain trust on the continent.

      something needs to change in africa- seeing the only future for africans is to pack themselves in leaky boats and throw themselves at the mercy of europeans - it's sad to see how much africa has failed. even this woman was speaking from america - africa couldn't give her a future...

    She is entirely correct. The west has done this to many nations, including those on the continents of Asia, Africa, and South America. It is terrible that so much suffering has occurred in these nations. Many people, including myself and my family, migrate to the west in search of a better life, as a result of the allure of the west's glitz and splendor; however, the west is also characterized by a strong slave mentality. There's the 1% of the wealthy, and the rest of us slaves who work day and night to pay our bills. A large percent of our income is taxed to support infrastructure at home but we're also funding wars abroad. It's really sick what's happening. There is enough food to go around. No child should be dying because he or she has no food, especially if their country is being raped of their natural resources.

Africa doesn´t need flashy screamers but, silent and honest people that work day and night without reward in modesty. It will take many generations to bridge the gap if that is even the goal.

      Steve you have done an excellent interview of our African Queen. You really set the scenario for her response in an African point view. France has been part of all French colonies underdevelopment and destabilization of North East of Nigeria by funding and arming boko haram all in a bid to continue exploiting Africa. If Africa wants to develop it must surrender to France.
      The military take over is not by itself the solution to the problem if they also will pursue the same agenda as the civilian governments romancing with France while they loot Africa.
      The military must seek for knowledge to govern with patriotism and decency to improve the quality of life of their citizens. To achieve that, the military leaders must collaborate with civilian professionals in each and every field to design policies and programs supported by well laid out financial management of their respective nation’s economies. Anything bereft that is just a waste of energy. Corruption is the main sickness of most or almost all African leaders and their cronies. If a lid is not placed on corruption the emancipation of Africa and it’s people will be very difficult. It’s not lack of resources or sources of revenue in Africa but the cheer scale of corruption perpetrated by its leaders and their cronies is the cause of their underdevelopment.
      This corruption is not only peculiar to former French colonies but it applied to all the remaining African countries.
      Unless leaders in Africa change their attitude towards greed /corruption and instill financial discipline and decorum, what is currently happening in the former French colonies will definitely happen to them and the citizens will support and rejoice their overthrow. Therefore, it’s high time everyone African leader should readjust themselves to work and improved the quality of life of their respective citizens.
      The unfortunate thing is that the corruption of politicians doesn’t know bounds and shame. In addition to looting the national treasury, they fill every space available for employment with their relatives and that of their wives leaving the children of the poor masses unemployed. This singular act will definitely breed resentment and add fuel to what encourages revolution among the people.
      It’s appropriate to take caution and listen to voices of reason and start sitting up serve their country with passion and patriotism.
