A Gallup poll published this year showed that China surpassed the US in popularity in Africa
– A decline in US influence in Africa means US President-elect Donald Trump 's administration will have to grapple with blind spots in its understanding of a fast-changing continent increasingly allied with China and Russia and threatened by spreading jihadist insurgencies.
Cameron Hudson, a former CIA analyst who worked on Africa in a number of roles for both Democrat and Republican administrations, said the lack of resources had led to missteps. Other signs point to America’s decline in a region long considered to be a low priority for US foreign policymakers. Competition with China will be a major focus, they both said, along with fresh support for US businesses. The US may also revisit its politics towards military leaders in the troubled Sahel, with less focus on democracy and human rights, they said.
One example is the situation in the Central African Republic, a gold-producing, increasingly authoritarian state that pays Russian mercenaries for protection while receiving millions in US aid, according to a watchdog report in June. "The entire department was empty, the lights were off," the official told Reuters, on condition of anonymity to speak candidly.
During his last administration, many in the region were enraged when Trump reportedly referred to African nations as "shithole countries". Close allies were hit with travel bans. Eritrea, Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan and Tanzania were among 13 countries on the list when he left office.
