                                                                                     Cyril Ndegeya - Anadolu Agency   Last week, the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne was celebrated in the UK.

While each of them could arguably be a reasonable answer to the question, the US’s longstanding policy towards Africa is to try implementing all of these policies simultaneously.  The Biden administration’s new US strategy for Africa is not immune from these contradictions.  Announced   last week by the Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the strategy outlines four priority areas, namely the respect for the sovereignty...
