The launch of the policy comes as US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, visits South Africa, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The new policy, US policy towards Sub-Saharan Africa, reframes the region’s importance to US national security interests and articulates a new vision for how and with whom the US engages, while identifying additional areas of focus.

 

It states that the world recognises Africa’s importance which is spurring several engagements on the continent and this “presents new opportunities and challenges for US interests in the region.”

 

However, China and Russia see the continent as an arena to challenge the rules-based international order and drive their personal interests, the policy states.

 

“The People’s Republic of China (PRC), by contrast, sees the region as an important arena to challenge the rules-based international order, advance its own narrow commercial and geopolitical interests, undermine transparency and openness, and weaken US relations with African peoples and governments,” the policy said.

 

 

On the other hand, Russia views the region as a permissive environment for parastatals and private military companies, often fomenting instability for strategic and financial benefit, the report states.

 

It adds that “Russia uses its security and economic ties, as well as disinformation to undercut Africans’ principled opposition to Russia’s further invasion of Ukraine and related human rights abuses.”

 

The document states that some of the longstanding approaches of the US have become insufficient to meet new challenges in a more contested and competitive world.

 

In order to advance its priorities through the new policy, the US will employ four objectives in Sub-Saharan Africa in the next five years. These include fostering openness and open societies; delivering democratic and security dividends; advancing pandemic recovery and economic opportunity; and conservation, climate adaptation and a just energy transition.

 

Additionally, “we will broaden our engagements, continuing to invest in the largest states while also deepening our relations with small and medium African states to advance our shared priorities, including the AU’s Agenda 2063.”

 

The U.S. is likely to advance its objectives if Africa’s civil society, including journalists and activists, as well as multilateral bodies and democratic institutions, stand up for shared democratic values, such as transparency, accountability, diversity, equality and equity, women’s rights, and inclusion.

 

It will also elevate diaspora engagement to strengthen the dialogue between US officials and the diaspora in the United States and support the UN’s Permanent Forum for People of African Descent.

 

“The United States will leverage all of our diplomatic, development, and defence capabilities, as well as strengthen our trade and commercial ties, focus on digital ecosystems, and rebalance toward urban hubs, to support these objectives,” it said.

 

China has become the darling of many African countries with massive infrastructure projects and low-interest loans, all of which have helped grow Chinese influence in the continent.

In Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy, Chinese loans are being used to finance massive rail and road project, most of which are also being constructed by Chinese firms.

 

Russian influence on the continent manifested when most African countries refused to outrightly condemn Russian invasion of Ukraine or support sanctions against Russia for the invasion.

 

Russian private miltiary contractors, including the notorious Wagner group is also active in many African countries including the Central African Republic and Mali.
