While the former US president Donald Trump did not show a particular interest for Africa, many people are wondering what will be the place of Africa in the new American president Joe Biden’s administration. Which policy will he adopt towards Africa?
Many African countries were delighted at the election of Joe Biden as president of the United States. But which concrete changes should africans expect?
