The US is determined “to graduate from policies that inadvertently treat Sub-Saharan Africa as a world apart”, it said. “We recognise that we have vital interests in common, and our path towards progress rests on a commitment to working together and elevating African leadership to advance our shared agenda.”
The US’ key policy priorities in Africa include building democracy and improving governance, promoting development, peace, security trade and investment, and supporting conservation and a move towards cleaner energy, similar to those Blinken outlined in November last year. He stressed at the time that the US didn’t want to limit Africa’s partnership with other countries, a view that appears to have shifted in light of the deterioration in Washington’s own relations with Russia and China.
