USA Africa Dialogue Series - Africa, an unserious continent
Africa can sometimes strike you as an unserious continent. First you have President Abdoulaye Wade reinforcing all extant stereotypes about the continent. Then you have the African Union and ECOWAS sending third termer, Olusegun Obasanjo, to Dakar as head of their hurriedly-arranged joint mission. Obasanjo to go and preach democracy and respect for constitutionally-established presidential term limits on behalf of Africa in Dakar? Might as well appoint a lion head of an international union of vegans and vegetarians.
