Challenge to USAFRICOM from Africa's Colonial Past

摘要

The intent of this paper is to show that long-term colonialism in Africa has created a legacy of distrust that will hamper U.S. efforts to engage effectively on the continent. The paper will analyze the historical and current misdeeds and missteps on the continent by outside entities, and develop and propose strategies and recommended actions for U.S. AFRICOM to engage successfully in the region.
