Obama invites 50 African leaders to summit and announces US to invest $14 B

[Tusk]

While I think its a move in the right direction trade is always a good thing and is the best deterrent to war. Forgive me for being a bit syndical about its timing, to me its Obama trying to play catchup after BRICS formation and appease blowback from Africa in UN for US foreign policy support of Israel.

Obama suggests US is better partner than China to African leaders. At summit in Washington, US president and top officials hail investment opportunities despite tangled relations and crises. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/05/obama-africa-leaders-us-china-investment-summit

Obama: U.S. Companies To Invest $14 Billion In Africa http://www.forbes.com/sites/mfonobongnsehe/2014/08/05/obama-u-s-companies-to-invest-14-billion-in-africa/

IMO had it not been for the recent BRICS summit of Israeli invasion this African Summit would not be happening

While the US was and is playing cat and mouse in the middle east, China was busy getting their tentacles in Africa and now the US is trying to catch up.

Might be a little too late as the next generation of leaders from Africa are sent to study in China.

Perhaps, but it is too late for them. China has been very busy but also very quiet. In any case, this is better than sending billions to Israel to bomb innocent civilians back into the stone age.

In the latest episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the headlines which prove that a great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges and focus on us failed strategy in Africa propping up corrupt sympathetic dictators rather then investing in infrastructure something China is doing with great success
