Why is Africa turning away from the United States? | The Bottom Line

Officials in the United States look upon Africans as people “in need of help” or people who “need to be told what to do”, and this is destroying relations between Africa and Washington, according to the former African Union representative to the US, Arikana Chihombori-Quao.
“The US needs to call a timeout and treat Africans with respect,” Chihombori told host Steve Clemons, adding that the US-Africa Leaders Summit hosted by the White House this week “will fail unless Americans see Africans as equals".
Chihombori-Quao argues that pan-African unity is the only path for the continent to be less dependent on outside powers.

China has allot of surplus goods for building their help is good in that sense and convenient for them. But just like Afghanistan, Africa needs to be at a certain level of development to be able to comfortably implement our structuring, technology, efficiency and stability otherwise our help and supplies would be sold off or stolen for basic needs usually ending up in criminal hands. Look at Japan and south Korea, that should be the motivation Africans need. Currently their problem is basic things like food, housing, and education which should be a simple enough basic requirement. They need to suck it up and work hard to be proud Africans and stay away from the ulterior motives of countries with get rich quick schemes. They will take away your freedoms... I hope Africans wont have to learn the hard way.
