I have noticed no posting on the African Summit. All this week African leaders have been in Washington to have a first ever African summit with with President Obama & the business community. I have been paying close attention to this first ever event, in the history of the United states & Africa. However one feels about president Obama, I give him & his administration credit for holding this summit. So I decided to post this town hall meeting with the young leaders of Africa. Friday they will have more videos of most of the meetings that took place & maybe including the State dinner with all the leaders of Africa.
The United States is trying to play catch up with China, who is all over Africa like Gang Busters. Like the president of Sierra Leone on the Charlie Rose Show last night said; "Their is room in African for China, Europe, & the United States to invest & do business in Africa".

Anansi, in the very first half of the video he talks about many of the young African leaders being with & partnering with Universities & collages across America & how well received they were. Also he talked about many of them seeing & visiting American cities including his & my home town of Chicago. So I'm sure they got many chances to interact with young AA & others, while they were in America. But, President Obama also stated that it was outstanding that they get a chance to interact with each other from all over Africa, at this time to build bonds etc. |
