President Obama’s latest initiative for Africa, Feed the Future, is likely to end up feeding the corporations eager to make a profit off of African farmers.

The world still extracts resources from Congo, and the Congolese still don’t get the benefits.

Obama should repudiate U.S. support for Uganda’s near-dictator.

The Pentagon touts a victory for the Africa Command’s support of a recent Ugandan incursion into Congo. Media reports suggest otherwise.

Congress is asking the right questions about the need for the Pentagon’s new Africa Command.

A common flaw in U.S. foreign policy is the politicization of foreign assistance. Whether Republican or Democratic, U.S. administrations allow narrowly defined “national interests” – instead of needs, priorities, and realities in a given country – to dictate foreign assistance. And Rwanda is an excellent case in point.
