Seems ironic to be talking about China's malign influence when we are the one banning Africans from ever stepping foot in the United States. 'Send us your minerals, but keep your people' doesnt feel like the trade promotion strategy we are looking for.

Chad suspends visas for US citizens. In comments that may win the military man many admirers across the continent, President Mahamat Deby says "Chad has no planes to offer, no billions of dollars to give but Chad has its dignity and pride".

Staff in Nigeria's ministry of agriculture are urged to fast + pray to help boost food security. The ministry says the call for prayers is not official policy to help make food available and affordable but an HR initiative to boost staff morale-like the monthly aerobics sessions.
