US President Joe Biden visited a slavery museum in Angola on Tuesday and inspected chains and a whip, but he also addressed the issue of Africa’s future.
According to him, “Africans will make up one in four people by 2050 and the world’s fate rests in their hands.”
The trip highlighted a strategic infrastructure project to rehabilitate the Lobito Corridor railroad, a key route for exporting minerals from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia via the Angolan port of Lobito.
Biden met President João Lourenço in Luanda on Tuesday, before a speech at the National Slavery Museum.
On Wednesday, December 4, 2024, he will visit Lobito to observe the work financed by loans from the United States, the European Union and other partners.
The project aims to offer an alternative to Chinese investment in Africa.
According to John Kirby, National Security Communications Advisor, this initiative marks a turning point for American engagement in Africa, with the hope that it will promote prosperity and stability on the continent.
