I just feel this is a bad idea for Africa, the over dependence on the U.S dollar will always keep African nations down, no matter how much is given to Africa. The U.S knows at least 90% of whatever money is given to African nations would find its way back into its economy or Western economies through corruption, so it is a win/win for the U.S. African nations accepting the dollar are basically marketing the U.S dollar on behalf of the U.S, hence giving the U.S Dollar relevance and strength whilst their own local currencies continue to be local and depreciate. African nations should go all out and partner with China and Russia, but on their own terms, if they really want to develop their economies and peoples faster, without regressive conditions of the past from the U.S and western nations.
You can't trust any of them, they are economic colonisers, African Union keeps lazing around and want miracle to drop from above The West, China, Russia and USA are there to source for their need (mineral resources)and at their price tag in a specific currency. Igniting a war with false claims is also part of it to sell arms and destabilise the region. Ghadaffi is a good example. Wake up Africans and may God save Africa 🌍.
This photo is an insult to us .We can still see dictators who have been in office for decades , dictators who have turn the wealth of their countries into family wealth .Nothing positive will come from this summit . To continue, the American president pledged a financial aid of 50 billion dollars to African countries.In his own country , to there are a lot of homeless people.Before thinking to come to o assist financially those who are far in Africa , this American president should start by giving decent accomodations to people who are sleeping in the streets in his country. There is no need to give financial aid to African countries whose presidents and their relatives are continually taking the state revenues overseas into their private bank accounts.
It's unavoidable African leaders meet the West. Impossible to live in autarky, isolated, since Africa has resources the world needs. What we have to do this time is play smart.
I agree 100%! As a African American I'm so disappointed in all of Africa. You climb out of the waste pool only to clean yourself to jump back in. No sense in seeking freedom.
The summit is called U.S. - AFRICA summit. It's not called Africa-U.S. summit or Angola-U.S. summit or South Africa-U.S. summit. If the invitation was made by the African Union or an African country I would agree that it had to be held somewhere in Africa. But it was a U.S. invitation, so it is, in my understanding, just normal that the summit is held in the U.S. Now, the biggest issue is that, when negotiating, most of African Leaders do not prioritize their people as whole but the minority. They lead for themselves and not for their country. Once they start leading for the country then, each African country will have a chance to develop.
I never seen a place where all the African president hosted any meetings but look here a single country hosted a meeting for almost all the whole continent.
We will see if real reform and change will occur at the United Nations security council. (Africa needs a permanent seat)and with unfair colonial era sanctions being made against Zimbabwe. We African-Americans want to see real change from our government. Our fortunes are tied to black people wherever they exist in this world. If Africa rise so will we. One love.
This is so true, and a number of continental Africans recognize that for true growth to occur, we also need deeper collaboration with the afro Diaspora in the US and Carribeans, but many aren't too aware how to engage with the other side. I know that a number of programs are being rolled out by African government to facilitate things for the afro Diaspora, but the problem I find is that they aren't exactly engaging the Diaspora, or aren't sure how to
Excellent point David. We also want the colonialist to give us our reparations as well for all the theft (land, resources, labor exploitation ...etc) ... Shalom to you from Johannesburg, SA
Just a miserable sum of $55 billion over 3 years "to help Africa", yet ready to spend $858 billion on defense -- or rather OFFENSE. That says a lot about how much USA really cares about Africa and world peace. When so much money is poured into weapons ($858 billion), there is always the pressure to use those weapons, and find more excuses to use them.
Usa have to stay strong. it is to stay ahead of our adversaries. 55 billion is alot of money. if we see profit and stability then we will invest more. China invested more money into africa but china only gained profit. Countries that took money from china, they are still dirt poor. only politicians made money by bribry. local people didnt get single penny or jobs example sri lanka and pakistan.. atleast if you do business with USA, they will do right by you example saudi and other middle eastern countries. we helped them get rich.
@@MuantanamoMobile so ask them to beg to china & be like srilanka & Pakistan...who's stopping them..what USA gives is aid( no strings attached) but what china gives is loan( that they never won't be able to pay)
Many poor countries have to beg the US for dollars, e.g. maybe just a few billions, but unlikely the US would give, and if giving, it would take years to negotiate, e.g. have to implement neoliberalism policies. However, the US is willing to give Ukraine tens of billions of dollars for free, because Ukraine is helping weaken Russia, the US's rival!
Hope George Floyd's can rest in peace after watching this. But obviously this won't happen today without China present in most African countries cooperating and building future and developments of African countries.
My dear, there is no hope because we black Peoples, we do things back, Africa don’t need development, Africa needs stability first, development is byproduct will come when africa leaders accept terms limits to create peaceful transfer of power and stability.
China will loan you money, and take your airports and seaports for exchange of the money, china is more dangerous than you Know them, we are dealing with American, now you want to deal with dragons, the will flame you fire when you fail
@@buchiamadi1453 , I don't know where you are from and what is your education? obviously not very highly educated. The western colonizers they don't even loan you money. They came, they killed, they tortured and they colonized you, your country and claimed all your country lands including your country resources and said it is belong to them just like how America had became a white men nation. BTW, when you take a loan from the Finance Company to buy a car or house and you can't pay the loan, of course the Finance Company will have to take your car or house away from you. But for China case, if a country can't pay the loan they have loaned from China to build infrastructures, the most is the port or airport China will own that base on contract leasing maybe 60 years or more depend on the amount the country loan and agreement. The Chinese will still have to hire the local people to work for them. Can the Chinese take to seaport or airport and transport to China?? Please use your brain.
Seeing the 2 Kongo Presidents standing side by side was a nice treat. However I still don't like how they were all summoned to D.C. without an agenda for the summit. The US told them to show up and then they will tell them the plan. Outrageous!
@@goiteomgezaei9066 Regardless of how weak you're, as a human being you should get respect. Their best answer would have been to not show up to the sumit in the first place.
The USA is trying to win the trust back since a lot of them are turning to China and Russia. If I have to choose the less evil, I would go with americans because their citizens live in the free world but not china and russia, their citizens live in opened sky prisons just like most countries in Africa and working with the USA will push those countries to copy how America is as the oldest democracy.
@@ndjibukabengele973 they would have to address racism and ws in order to gain full trust. Hell just last week a US police officer killed an unarmed black male and in another story police officer brutally assaulted a black woman who was handcuffed. No, they have to treat black people in their own country first before trying to show themselves as upstanding defenders of democracy and human rights!
They went to be told that they will be given USD55b to share for our minerals. scramble for Africa season 2 episode 1, next summit in China. see you soon🗣
Nothing will come out of this, African Continent must continue with competition, and do the right, and protect their Interests. No more game of exploitation. China is the best partner
If Africa didn't exist, it should be invented. I told a friend: if the principality of Andorra (480 km2) convened an Andorra-Africa summit, they would shamelessly flock there up the Pyrenean mountains begging bowls in hand. The friend agreed and added they seldom attend African Union summits but never miss any X-Africa meetings: France-Africa, Russia-Africa, Japan-Africa, India-Africa, Turkey-Africa, South Korea- Africa, etc. Maybe we are indeed a cursed continent or people as South African racists used to say.
L''ÉTERNEL seul est Dieu, Alleluia à lui seul toute la gloire, que tous le craignent et reconnaissent que c'est lui Dieu, ETERNEL Dieu SAINT S'IL TE PLAÎT PREND EN PITIER TES SERVITEURS QUI SONT CES MBMBRE DU GOUVERNEMENT. ET BÉNIS LES AINSI QUE LES LEURS AU NOM DE JÉSUS CHRIST AMEN
These African leaders! Really, it’s one continent why can’t they have 2 or 3 representatives and let Joe Biden go to them, in Africa. President of Rwanda, Ghana, good at criticism of Western influence yet no actions! I didn’t expect them to be here.
