US waning influence in Africa: Foreign policy largely overlooked in the election


The presidential candidates have travelled the country to make the case for why they’re the best person to lead it. But while they’ve addressed the Middle East, Ukraine and China – Africa has barely been mentioned. Many Africans are wondering how this elec-tion will affect US foreign policy towards the continent.

We don't need a murderous nation meddling in Africa affairs

@jdotsalter910

Democrats care about Africa?? HAHAHAHAHAAHA. Harris is more Hindu Indian than Black African, with direct Indian connections. It's silly to think Harris(married to a white jew) cares about Africa in any way, shape or form.

Since when did Africa need anybody else everybody need Africa I hate when they get a c*** to try to speak for us

@terrencedludlu8370

As an African, South African more specifically we prefer less of American than more American in Africa.

Less is more!!!

@ricaard6959

I didn't know Indians were Africans 😂
Nevermind that, they should keep to themselves.

@tonymangion6413

They no that Africa is a lost cause full of thieves rotten corrupt governments

@duanerice-mason2115

AS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN THE FIRST PRIORITY OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MUST BE “AMERICA FIRST”👍🇺🇸

@alexandrekambala6309

BRICS for Africa ✊🏿

@dintwemontsho1347

You are a fool if you belive anything that comes out of this woman's mouth

@NIGAH....

I'm kenyan and I would advice americans to vote 4 trump.

@Seyiwale6127

You fooling yourself women . None of this candidate have best African interests in mind.

@luqmanabdulqadir9258

Africa should do what is best for Africa. Africans should demand from their useless leaders not America. Nonsense

@gifthkauta2000

😂😂

@AlialiBinladen

There ain’t no democracy in America 🇺🇸 itself

@MusehanaH

You cannot go and clean a neighbours house when yours is dirty.
The US need to focus on the US and US people. America first, remember?
Africa and the rest of the world will be fine, because as long as the focus is at home, there should be not time for interferes in other countries affairs.
Best of luck as you vote, America!

@Haniboy7911

Africa doesn’t care what America become African needs to focus in their development

@hassanjinja

@Swormy097

Did she say America first?

Rather it's Israel first, America second

@josephrubalema1193

99% of Africans will jump on an opportunity to move to the USA. So why should the Americans be bothered with having a policy… citizens who can't value their heritage and patriotism to build from scratch their own destiny are not worth anyone's time

@Amukalalu

We don't need America thinking about Africa, let them mind there own business

@brunaman2385

How doest the west support to isreal make strong ties with africa what is this report talking about

@amadoujatta8383

We African knows that US can’t be trusted. Russians are our brothers they never in Slav in oh mistreated us . We know the real enemies……

@alfadjalo3722

Trump is the best president ever for Africa

@TGWazoo1

Getting involved in Africa is a lot like getting involved in the Balkans. It’s fraught with peril.

@stevenwilliams3015

That's the point, we don't want US interfering in Africa. Focus on your America and let Africa focus on Africa, simple! Trump 2024

@ronaldjtriumph5985

Kamala will bring absolutely nothing to Africa …

@TorchAnalytica

Africa can sustain it's self now no need for foreigner interference.

@EstaJeanette-nk7fj

Kamala is of south asian decent not of african heritage.

@stopthelies4249

Boo

@kamranchoudhry321

People need to open their eyes and see the double standards of US

@NamubiruJoyce-j7y

Only puppet can still believe in USA but we the strong only Putin

@scaldor

Kamala is indeed very very African unless they have some objectives in Sudan. Good luck Africa.

@davidotto9216

If African take China side there will be opposition parties to fight against them with US support

@HellBot-gi5si

The biggest complaint that African have had was that America wasn't engaged enough. So President Biden did do push for more investment into certain African countries. However, Africans found most times they are ignored by America not pursed.

@WillieFungo

I don't want the US to have an Africa policy…. The US should focus on the American people instead of spreading LGBT ideologies around the world.

@WillieFungo

Kamala doesn't share any "heritage" with Africans.

@Serge1074

The best thing that can happen is when USA stays away from other Countries, they can’t even run their own Country, they are a disgrace and disappointment to the rest of the world ,,,,,and yes they contributed to the Genocide against the Palestinians.

@onomeonota23

At the moment, Africa really has nothing to offer. Why shouldn’t we be an afterthought. African countries don’t even now if Afghanistan is still a country because it is meaningless to them. Make yourself valuable and you be the sought after jewel.

Voting for Kamala is like booking a room in Titanic…

@browneyesblue7865

She is not a African America

@Dan-ne1cp

Kamala harris wants to force lgtbq and abortions on africans and she supports deployment of NATO which is a white supermacist army to africa
