The Biden administration is holding a summit with some 40 leaders of African countries. The New York Times headline of its reporting on the summit is revealing:
Biden Is Bringing Africa’s Leaders to Washington, Hoping to Impress
"Bringing Africa's Leaders to Washington"? Why not "invited African leaders to Washington"? Isn't this reminiscent to the millions of Africans who had been "brought to America" in past centuries?
The U.S. is late in fostering better relations with Africa:
NAIROBI, Kenya — In Russia, Africa’s leaders were feted at a seaside resort where military aircraft for sale were parked outside the summit hall. In China, they dined with President Xi Jinping, some of them one-on-one, and received promises of investments worth $60 billion. In Turkey, they won support for a permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council.
Now they are headed to Washington for a major summit hosted by President Biden — the latest diplomatic drive by a major foreign power seeking to strengthen its ties to Africa, a continent whose geopolitical clout has grown greatly in the past decade.
There is little hope that the U.S. will do better than other nations:
As the planes of over 40 African heads of state descend on Washington, a question looms: What can Mr. Biden offer that they want?
“The U.S. has traditionally seen Africa as a problem to be solved,” said Murithi Mutiga, Africa director at the International Crisis Group. “But its competitors see Africa as a place of opportunity, which is why they are pulling ahead. It’s unclear if this conference is going to change that.”
What the leaders from Africa demand is first of all respect:
Africa’s top diplomat says that, first of all, they want to be heard.

Watch Biden say something stupid like “We brought many of you to the US for labor and we hope than more are coming.”
I am waiting to wince at tomorrow’s reported gaffes from SloJoe. There is no doubt that there will be plenty.
excerpted:
“...I fail to find a participants list for the summit at the State Department’s Africa Summit page. But I am pretty sure that Zimbabwe as well as ten plus other member states of the African Union will not be present. It would be interesting to learn who those are.
Sanctions are typically reviewed by the National Security Council before they are enacted by the Treasury. That the White House let these pass at this time means that the move is intentional.
Those who are coming will notice this well timed action against the leadership of one of their fellow countries. It is likely supposed to intimidate them: “Watch what could happen to You!”
But times have changed. I doubt that they will fall for such a cheap trick....”
Hope he tells the reps about the plan to starve most Africans to death to save the planet, I’m sure they will go along.
The Biden administration on Monday slapped corruption sanctions on the son of Zimbabwe’s president as the U.S. prepares to host a major summit of African leaders in Washington.
What a diapertard.
It’s really quite simple. The #JihadJunta will demand that they follow the dictates of Kaiser Klaus, give them billions of American Taxpayers Dollars and use racist language to belittle them, all the while staying on the take with “finders fees” and special “commissions” for delivering the loot to these dictators.
Biden refuses to meet individually with any African leader. KJP, the black, lesbian, immigrant talking piece for Biden won’t answer African press questions. This simply isn’t the way you treat other nations, particularly when China is kissing their asses. Perhaps this is just Biden making sure China gets their way. Biden is a cheap whore. I doubt if he’s even getting his 10% anymore, even as he does China’s bidding.
“Massa Joe say you come to big house now, boys.”
