um i am steve clements and i have a question. can president biden convince african leader is that america is a better partner than china? let's get to the bottom line. ah, this week the white house host leaders from 49 african countries to try and convince them that there is a real priority for america. it's going to be a hard sell since many africans feel that washington has treated them with a lot of benign neglect. more of a problem than an opportunity, a place that is full of precious minerals that we want like lithium and cobalt, which american needs for its electric cars, but also a place loaded with security concerns and humanitarian crises and corruption. meanwhile rushes kind of doom to the top is africa. number one weapons dealer and china's trade with african countries has reached a record 261000000000 dollars last year. that's about 5 times more than the u. s. an african youth survey by each cove. its family foundation found that 77 percent

of youth across the continent identified china as the most important nation for africa future, not the united states. plus china deals with whatever government is in place. no questions asked. while the u. s. cherry picks its allies and offers lectures about democracy. so can the u. s. africa leader summit here in washington, dc. turn things around and what can america offer that africa really once today we're talking with audi, kind of she home body cloud, the former ambassador of the african union to the united states. she's also the founder of the africa diaspora development initiative, which aims to being africans abroad back to the continent. ambassador, it's such a pleasure to talk with you today. this big summit is going on right now in washington, dc. urines and bob way, i guess i want to start by asking you, what do the leaders of africa and president biden have to get right after this week . that you think needs is essential. thank you for having me. ah, this is

a very important sum. it is a conversation between the continent and the united states, a composition that is desperately needed, particularly at this time in our history and in our life the united states. let me start by saying it is be, it still remains the most preferred treading part not for the african nations. however, like i used to tell this to department in any engagement that we've had with united states. i failed to do, my tina that benighted states was slowly losing ground and they were risking losing their position is africa's preferred treading platinum. so this is a very important meeting that i hope that if the united states, like i used to tell, ah, my colleagues, i felt that united states, if this was a basketball game, the united states needed to call for time out for you as needed to realize that

this is a new game, and it required a new rules of engagement. therefore, a need for the united states to re strategize. i'm lumpy. that for the change, this me t, the united states can begin to realize it's no longer business as usual. it's no longer a case of the united states saying we make policy and we tell the africans, judge has got to change. it is a recipe for disaster. it is a recipe for the united states seeing itself losing its place as africa's preferred treading. partner this, that's what makes this meeting very important. and i'm hoping that the u. s. and culture timeout and understand that engaging africa at this time, it is a new game that is calling for new rules of engagement. and therefore, it is time to re strategize and change the africans fairly to the africans,

respectfully, and should be africans as equal partners. nor ambassador. i think one of the things that i'm trying to be sensitive to is that we often over in the united states as you know, and you were the ambassador of the african union, tend to talk about a continent as opposed to individual countries and nations of which they're 50 for their 49, a heads of state here in washington this week. and are we making mistake or we are, we is our ignorance on our side from your impression, of our ignorance, you know, amplified by us talking about africa so much as, as opposed to talking about. we're a wanda zimbabwe gonna should we be or you know, is our illiteracy is illiteracy in this level. so obvious that, that it's a, it's a real problem and do these kinds of summits that bring everyone together, do a disservice to that kind of getting to know each country more distinctly. a

student for the united states and i repeated i used to repeat it all the time during my tenure what really is behind. ready failure of effective engagement with africa is the disrespect of africans. that's where the problem begins. if we cannot accept, if the united states can not accept africans as equal partners, if the united states, for example, let's look at this particular meeting. this particular summit. there was no defined agenda. there has never been defined agendas whenever they meet with african countries, as individual countries is always the united states. setting the agenda, the united states, setting the policies and the united states, telling africans about the policies that is no way to have any meaningful engagement. if you get, for example, the 1st pocket meeting. ready that was held between china and african heads of the

way in advance. the issues were clearly defined in the agenda was going to focus on trade. it was going to focus on and it was going to forget of focus on investments . the african heads of states were engaged in the discussion in the planning. the outcomes were, are clearly defined, went away forward in terms of follow up. it was a fruitful meeting that addresses the issues that needed to be addressed between not only african printers individually with china, but also africans, collectively with china. there is no public agenda. there is, there are no issues that have been presented to african years of states. africans have been not been asked to engage in terms of creating the agenda and making sure that when the african upstairs come to washington, the outcomes the issues to be discussed are going to be meaningful outcomes

outcomes with follow up and deliverables that are going to be beneficial to both, it remains at the one sided conversation with the united states, telling africans the agendas and the policies, the africans and notes on the table to discuss issues pertaining to as wherein lies the problem. and the reason that continues to be the case. what under suppose that is the disrespect for africans? i repeated it i, i complained about it repeatedly. it is a serious problem. the united states must understand that africans and not going to take it any more. if you don't choose the africans, trailing united states is going to see itself only losing ground to china, to russia, to all other nations. because without respecting the africans, without judging the africans, is info, without understanding that exploitation and abuse of africa simply cannot continue

. this, this meeting, this summit is going to be yet another guthrie with no outcomes nor deliverables until the next summit. i'm sorry, but the disrespect of the africans is at the bottom of it all by our agenda for this meeting should have been set out in advance, africa, and should have been involved without the involvement of africans in this discussions. this is a huge list. it, i'm sorry, but that is no i, i am very grateful for your candor and it sounds to be, be, i mean, i think it was a lot of criticism of the last some it like this under president obama that there was like no follow through and you know, it's one of the big questions i'm asking is, how do you make a big bang summit, where everyone comes over? it's like checking off the box to say, ok, we've done africa now we can move on to other things. how do we, how do you make that something that's a more sustainable and a more continuous engagement of the united states with africa? what i'm hearing from you is, frankly a lot of disappointment. and um, you know,

a lot of pessimism about what may come out of the summit. well, the, the point of the matter is already, you know, nothing is going to come out of it because it is a one sided conversation, right? where is the agenda? the agenda should have been published way in advance. the african leaders should have been given an opportunity to also send deposition, so they can come up with an african position that can then be despised alongside the american position. so the fact that it is a one sided conversation that isn't going to be another useless meeting with no outcomes. but again, i'm going to keep emphasizing. the reason this is happening is because there is a disrespect for the africans. there is a general feeling that we don't need to hear from the africans. the. ringback opinions do not matter that where he lives, the problem, why would the african multiples out? why would africans, not part of an agenda?

why was they not given an agenda like what happened during the meeting, which i know those are some basic issues, not head of state. president biden would not pick up and go to meet with any other leader in the world without an agenda. that simply doesn't happen. right. so what makes us think that they can engage african leaders without an agenda come to watching to let me tell you what i want to do for you. come to watching to let me tell you what you need to do in your country. and that again is an old game, right? not going to work anymore. to be honest with you. if i'm to speak the truth. i hope a lot of it has gone up because it is an insult. it is an abuse of the us as a can lead us is a disrespect of the african lead us. where is the agenda? please respect the african leaders. do unto them what you, what was done on to you. so it's really a simple ask. let me ask you a question. you mentioned china and how china approaches this. i'm interested in

what china get so right. and, but is there a blind spot there? are there problems in the china africa relationship from your perspective? let me know. so let me just let him know in the head and deal with 10 top with the 10000 upon body like in the room. yeah. racism as well. there's a very important part. the disrespect of the africans also goes back to a lot of the people who work in the u. s. government, not all of them, but there is a significant of them will automatically assume that africans do not know what they're doing. africans need out. africans need to be told what to do. and racism is also at the bottom of it all. we need to address the individuals who are going to be visiting africa, engage in africa. they must understand that africans equal to them.

but when one goes to africa with a sense of superiority, wherein lies the problem. because you're not going to engage those leaders, we're going to come to the table as it goes, you go insolent superior, you come back feeling superior. that is not an issue with the chinese. the chinese are coming in the chinese. yes. if you don't know what you're with them and that they when to get and then that's your fault. but they don't, i mean, feeling superior. they understand that africa has something they need, so they will come to the africa. they will come and make sure that they let the africans know that you matter to us. but i want to let you sleep with you does matter that you don't get that feeling with the united states. you get the feeling that there's been a sense of superiority, that you africans. i'd be glad that we're engaging. you. i'd be glad that we're inviting you to come to watch in that sense of security. it has to change what it cost for the united states to we train the people as they engage africa. but it is

that which really goes to the bottom of why the engagements are not going to be as effective. they must take a page out of what africa is doing. let said this, chinese people didn't used to be that way. but they quickly changed their strategy when they realized that the game they were playing was not going away in africa. they changed their strategy. and that's why, like i said, i say during my tenure, i'll continue to say again, if this was a basketball game, the united states need to call for time out. this is a new game and it requires new rules of engagement. the united states must 1st and foremost, make sure that racism is out of the picture. africans, i just as much as anybody else africans are equal. and until we engage as equals, all this meetings, all these conversations are always going to be useless and it goes back to the individuals who are going to be at the table with the africans. so the u. s. also

need to address the issue of racism. and not sure that the people engage in africa, their minds are clear and accept that africans are equal. tell us about pan african ism, tell us about what africa the states in africa are doing to trade, to connect, to move their agenda forward proactively. no matter what the rest of the world is thinking about. absolutely, i had to say, if you were to go back to 963 when open african fathers come together in the hopes of creating an africa that spoke with one voice. and i forgot that he had won military and i forgot that he had one central bank, one monetary fund, 111, not a stock exchange, and, and africa with one customs union. we failed at that over the years. but finally, 2 years ago they approved. ready f c of ga, the african content of it agreement with

a policy that so africa coming together in one particular area that we are now speaking with one voice when it comes to treat. yes, it's implementation is a one stop. yes, it's implementation is work in progress. but you can say of the issue that open african 5 does match to discuss in 1963. finally, over 50 years later, we're able to accomplish the 1st one, which is being in africa that's going to the world as one customs union. the spirit of an african is them. it has taken us a long time to really begin to come together to dismantle the berlin conference. which of course, for those who think all billing for friends is a thing of the best of the past thing. again, as long as we have a country called juggle as long as of a country called congo brezza book is what in malawi does more countries in nigeria or the big ones, kenya, egypt, morocco, they cannot survive on their own. as long as we're talking about the little bit

individual african countries, we are never going to realize the training of a united africa that speaks with one voice. and then, till we've dismantled some of those borders until we begin to work ourselves up as a people. until we begin to realize that the the colonizers ended, the rule of divide and conquer, left us filling in senior supremacy white supremacy was introduced from this very onset. when the colonizers came to africa, we were told to believe that everything african was bad. everything european was better and we still continue to suffer from that mentality. so yes, while we demand that the west and those who don't look like us africans kit as equally realized that we are human beings just like they were to, as africans. we have a lot of work to do on a personal level where we must also believe truly believes that we are equal to

everybody else on earth and that we are capable. that also is a disease that we need to realize as africans. let's wake up and realize that white people are not superior to us, chinese, or superior to us. we are just as smooth as anybody else. that is a serious challenge because miss do have people, even when you look at issues that we can stand up as a people and push back. you see ministers from the western world are going to out to africa. and they basically can. i've seen them say some of the was ridiculous things with africans or instead of the africans pushing back and say, hey, all this is not going to fly. instead, the africans are afraid just inherently fear of the. 3 white person without any for no reason whatsoever, except that we have been programmed to feel inferior. so on an individual basis, we continue to speak the gospel of truth. we continue to shed delight as to the

brain washing that is that the african has been put through. wherein life is the problem. when you look at what is being done at the world bank, for example, the bretton woods institutions, the, the frivolous loans countries that have never defaulted on their, on their lonely payments. they're still given large interest rates. why can't is like the united states that don't need any right get interest loans at 0 interest rates. you look at the issue, i'm glad to present buy, did i hear he's going to be talking about having the a you as the 1st member of the g 20. well, let's also take it to the next level. let's go to the united nations. let's have africa, 1500000 people. they need to come to the table. let's african union be this 6 member of the 5 member, un security council. you can just totally disregard 1400000000 people because you've gotten away with it for centuries. but guess what game is over, africans are waking up. africans are beginning to realize and understand the game

that have been played. unfortunately, we don't have that critical mass of people who are continuously going to speak truth to power, right? the good thing with this story of africa is i was, we are coming from a position of righteousness, right, of position of truth, a position of sparks, right? those are constant. they don't change. let's continue to give the world an overdose of our child. but at the same time, while we are doing so and demanding a world that is fair, that is just and see of rest is the big actually and hate. we must also wake for now own development and our own i work in as a people talk to me a little bit about how africa can take advantage of it, of its intellectual connection and assets to entrepreneurs who have left, but may want to help africa back because this is one of your major initiatives. so that in brain playing that started over 400 years ago,

when the best and the brightest in the fittest were taken out of africa forcibly. and that is when the brain started. i want to make sure that is medically and when we talk about african diaspora, we're talking about all people of african descent, living outside of africa, let be very clear, african americans. the africans were forcibly taken out of africa, plus the continued brain drain. those who are led to immigrants who left africa and nowhere from family from was in search of greener pastures. the end result is, as we speak africa as a city, as deficit of expertise. however, the book via the good news for africa is that we have a very young, intelligent, vibrant population that need opportunities. so when we can marry the age group of young intelligent africans with the expertise coming from the dash 4 up, we can see in africa that can propel itself to take its right to place on the world stage like it once was. so yes,

the does put up an important component of africa's development make no mistake about that. all the african leaders are fully aware of that. all african leaders in full support of coming up with programs to make it easier for the desperate move back. we want to look at does, but we can come to africa, not just focus on a country that you were born born in. but if you are a person of african descent, africa should matter to you, africa should be a problem. you must on africa problems understand it, and participate in the development of for when we have a civil africa. it ultimately it now also correlates with an african american war is and cut. it correlates with an afro caribbean who is anchored. it correlates with an astro. let you know who is anchored personally, descendants of the family enslaved delica shipped without an anger. you the wind to blow that way. here they go until they're anchored by being accepted by africa

until they're anchored by participating in the development of africa. the jews do it, the chinese do it. the end is do it. the irish dewitt africa, americans, together with alfred continental africans. we must make sure that we work together to participate in the development of africa. because the development and the building of africa we want it is our responsibility 1st and foremost and i was alone. i was, i was, i welcome to come join us. i does, i want to come to help us. and as i woke up in gain just as equal partners, but we must own the building of africa that we want as a united trend of, of the african diaspora. well, i want to make a deal with you ambassador. i want this to be a start of a conversation with you that we have many other times. i think it's a very important conversation. i am grateful to you and pastor audi connor she home body qual, former african union diplomat and founder of the african diaspora development initiative. thanks for your candor and thank you so much for being with us today.

thank you for having me and keep up the good work. these are messages that we must continue to put out because the average american is not aware. the average european citizen is not aware of what the various western guzman, i doing, the atrocities have been going on for far too long. the must come to an end and your program is doing a great job in getting this message is out. we must inform and educate our students . thank you, and bachelor. thank you so much. thank you so much. so what's the bottom line? the smart money's on africa, that's where the most interesting global action is going to be. demographically, the west and much of asia are aging, while africa has the youngest crowd on the planet. within a few decades, much of the world's global middle class is going to come from africa. and after it's going to become a sticky or place where it's brilliant innovators to stay, rather than racing off the europe of the united states. sure, china and the u. s. will both remain engaged in africa, but less and less on their terms and more and more on the terms of african nations,

as they rise and become more powerful in their own right. that's the story of unstoppable africa rising. not because of what nations outside the continent are doing for it, but what it's doing to chart its own course. and that's the bottom line. ah. progress, morris, serious mistake. artificial intelligence is slowly invading every aspect of our lives. but very few of as really understand its capabilities for better or worse, al jazeera explodes, the impact of a i accessing vast amounts of our personal data. data land on al jazeera ah,
