SUMMARY:Africa: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly
DESCRIPTION:Former Ambassador Larry Andre\, currently with the L.B.J. School\, previously presented a program on Africa to the World Affairs Council. He will return to discuss a continent that has seen radical change in the very recent past. The media tends to focus on a continent facing civil war\, militant Islam/terrorism\, famine\, and even genocide. Is it an accurate portrayal? No. Many African countries offer stability and opportunity to their citizens. Professor Andre will briefly discuss a few positive examples. \nAmerican influence in Africa has suffered a setback due to the abrupt cancellation of USAID. Given the importance of some forms of foreign aid in advancing U.S. goals\, influence\, and interests\, Professor Andre will discuss how vital foreign aid functions can operate “post-USAID.” What should the U.S. humanitarian response be for global health\, development aid\, technical aid\, and security assistance? \nREGISTER HERE
