Former African Union ambassador to the US says US authorities’s support company had a ‘main meddling agenda’ throughout Africa.
Removed from being a tragedy for Africa, the demise of the US Company for Worldwide Improvement (USAID) by the hands of President Donald Trump’s administration ought to be trigger for celebration, argues Arikana Chihombori-Quao, the previous ambassador of the African Union to the US.
Chihombori-Quao tells host Steve Clemons that USAID doesn’t have a lot to point out for its a long time of training and healthcare tasks in Africa and sometimes destabilised international locations below the guise of environmental, human rights or social justice agendas.
And if the US will not be fascinated by Africa, African leaders shouldn’t beg for higher relations, she stated. “It takes two to tango,” the previous diplomat stated.
