There is a risk of "new colonialism" in Africa. "Let Africa to Africans is not an empty slogan. Look at what Iran is doing in Africa today. Under the umbrella of development cooperation and pompous development projects in agriculture, education... they aim to extend their influence over the African continent. Why? not because of values of humanism or generosity toward the African brothers, but, exploiting the misfortune of the continent, spreads its ideology and influence. Obama has a very clever approach of the issue as well as of the issue of development. We need to be here for Africa, we need to restore hope and to bring inspiration to the Africa people. "Let Africa to Africans"!! Yes they can!]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/obama_ghana/ Mon Jul 13, 2009
Just off the top of my head, I'd have to say that the way the people of Ghana recieved Mr. Obama -- "the man" -- not just as "the president", is I think unprecedented in the annals of American diplomacy.

Talk about using the "bully pulpit", that speech included the most remarkable deconstuction of autocracy I've ever had the pleasure to be witness to.

And if the man gets any more articulate, tyrants will start dropping like flies in a snowstorm. Frozen in time.]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/obama_ghana/ Sun Jul 12, 2009
