Dear American Lawmakers: USA Policy Frameworks on Africa needs new strategy

[Deeq A.]

The influence of the United States in Africa has been declining, a trend that started years ago due to policy frameworks adopted by the US government over the years based on Security and Social change alone, a shift that has allowed China to increase its presence in the continent based on Infrastructure building and debt integrating Africa into its Belt and Road Initiative. Many African countries have turned to China for economic development and friendship due to their unconditional financing and development of infrastructure projects such as roads, railways, and ports, often leading to debt burden and takeover of critical infrastructure.
