Obama's Africa Strategy: Aljazeera Discussion

Aljazeera asked me to participate on 19 June 2012 in a half hour discussion titled "What is behind Obama's new Africa strategy?" The program is called "Inside Story Americas" with Shihab Rattansi as presenter. The other two guests were Paul Mutter, a fellow at Truthout.org and Nii Akuetteh, an African policy analyst was was formerly the executive director of Africa Action.

The program focused on U.S. counterterrorism policy in Africa and especially the role of AFRICOM, drawing on the Washington Post reporting on this subject, which is available under June 14 below. Click here to view the program.
