Charm offensive: Biden courts continent at US-Africa summit • FRANCE 24 English

You have seen African summits in Paris, Brussels, Beijing and Ankara. For only the second time ever, after 2014, Washington is hosting an Africa leaders summit. With superpower rivalries heating up, no long lectures planned on human rights and corruption. Instead, the Biden administration bowing to the African Union’s own blueprint for sustainable growth. Is it the same script as former colonial powers France and Britain?

This is all about revenge on China and Russia but not Africa Development..

[kabz]

we as africans are tired of the US AND EU. China has done more for africa in just the last five years.

[valerieminster]

I hope these African countries remember their history. Charm is not needed. Only trade and good leadership will benefit Africa. Countries do not have friendships, they have interest. Self interest. That is how the world turns.

The aid Ukraine 🇺🇦 received in 8months is more than what United state is promising to give Africa

[audreyclarke]

you could see the lies coming through Mr. Blinken's pores

[tribeman]

Why haven’t you helped African before and now china and Russia are helping it’s urgent now

[albertli]

It is like the wolf invites all the farm animals for Thanksgiving dinner. Just wonder what will be served for the occasion?

[tonykum]

Africa must choose Africa first before anything else. The real truth is China has come forward with substantial business win, win opportunities, where America cannot, and should not be trusted. For America to be tested for instance, they should lift the embargo leveled at Zimbabwe and remove the condition stipulated by the lending bodies such as IMF, WORLD BANK, and foremost Africa should be granted a permanent seat in the UN Council. Other than that it is better to contine with China where some sort of mutual respect is visable.

When the meeting was over, the chinese had built a road in africa.

[iart]

Military presence is US main goal. The people of Africa is last, as are Americans.

[bellohadiza]

Africa only need positive infrastructures and positive developments, not lectures, not unworkable conditions, not warmongerings, not sanctions and threat period .

[aaronaiysen]

50 billion for an continent and Ukraine 🇺🇦 60 an they asking for 37 billion more.

[charlespetite]

I am afraid for Africa welcoming all her enemies.

[faizalzaidin]

When developed countries asking for loan from IMF and World Bank (which owned by America), they received it swiftly with very low or no interest at all. When poor countries and developing countries asking for loan, they were asked to pay with 7% - 10% interest and loads of political restrictions

[akitew.]

We don't need Aid . We need investment ok African don't need Aid we SUPPORT RUSSIA and president Putin 💯💯🤔🤔

[willisly]

America can’t even build their own country how can they help Africa? Their country more and more homeless bridges and buildings are nearly collapse that they can’t even take care off them self. 🤔🤔

[ONYEIGBO]

Hahaha... no body is talking about Africa's interest here.

[Morriemanneh]

why are you lying every where and every time .

[fahloledibakass]

they should start this help with African American.

[teoengchin]

By the way, how's America's Build Back Better World initiative coming along so far? I can't find any media coverage of a single project started since it was announced
