As one of the people who have in the past complained about the seeming lack of new ideas for a "strategic engagement with Africa" from the Obama White House, I welcome renewed energy towards that direction.
Kama mmoja wa watu ambao zamani wamekuwa wakilalamika kuhusu ukosefu wa mawazo mapya kwa ajili ya "uhusiano mkali na Afrika" kutoka Nyumba ya Obama Nyeupe, ninapokea nguvu mpya kuelekea upande huo.
