Military and energy shaping US policy in Africa for 2010

One topic that was missing from Obama's speech last night was Africa, but that doesn't mean that the US has stepped back from its influence in the region. And that includes two areas in particular: national security and energy.

Here to discuss these issues is Gerald Lemelle, executive director for Africa Action, a DC-based advocacy group focused on US-Africa relations. He's also the lead author of a new report, Africa Outlook 2010.

“Africa Policy Outlook 2010,” a report by Africa Action, released this month, includes analysis of HIV/AIDS work on the continent, conflicts in Somalia and Uganda, debt relief and other pressing issues. More here: http://www.africaaction.org/resources/page.php?op=read&documentid=4854&t...
