Early in his presidency, Mr. Obama told Africans the continent doesn't need "strongmen," instead it needs strong institutions. Today, many Africans wonder if the words President Obama uttered five years ago are making a difference in Africa, where some leaders have been in power for more than 30 years and where impunity and lawlessness continue in many countries. VOA's Mariama Diallo reports. Then the White House announced recently that President Obama will host the first U.S.-Africa Leaders' Summit, in August. To discuss this further, VOA's Ndimyake Mwakalyelye talks to Emira Woods, co-director of foreign policy In Focus, at the Institute for Policy Studies.
