Reasons for Waning US Influence in Africa

 Aljazeera posted on 2 November 2024 a ten-minute discussion on waning US influence in Africa with panelists Zainab Usman, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and me.  

The focus of the discussion was why the US is losing influence in Africa vis-a-vis China, Russia, the Gulf States, and others.  There was also consideration of the US role in counterterrorism on the continent and why the civil war in Sudan has not been brought to an end.
