American Democracy and Africa: A Cautionary Tale

 The New York Times posted on 3 August 2022 an opinion piece titled "Kenya's Elite Talk About American Power in the Past Tense" by Farah Stockman, a member of The New York Times editorial board.

Comment:  While this excellent commentary represents the views of a limited number of Kenyan elites, it probably reflects a much wider view held by educated Africans.  Challenge number one is getting our own democracy in order and implementing a more consistent foreign policy based on traditional American principles and values.
