Antony Blinken's Visits to Ethiopia and Niger

 World Politics Review published on 17 March 2023 a commentary titled "With the Tigray War Over, the U.S. Moves to Mend Ties with Ethiopia" by Chris Olaoluwa Ogunmodede.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently visited Ethiopia and Niger to reset relations with a key country in the Horn of Africa and solidify relations with an ally in the Sahel.  The author argues that U.S. policy appears to be motivated by a desire to counter China and Russia in Africa.
