Chatham House Attacks West as 'Out of Touch' on Africa

A Chatam House report stated that:

African countries are playing a more strategic role in inter-national affairs. Global players that understand this and develop greater diplomatic and trade relations with African states will be greatly advantaged.For many countries, particularly those that have framed their relations with Africa largely in humanitarian terms, this will require an uncomfortable shift in public and policy perceptions. Without this shift, many of Africa’s traditional partners, especially in Europe and North America, will lose global influence and trade advantages to the emerging powers.Watch related video
