Okello,

I am much obliged but, as a Swedish African or African Swede, the values President Trump anchores to and ours is like day and night.

Ask him to comment on the brother who was granted land and a mule. Perhaps there I shall get a lead out.

I just don't understand your President one bit.

I preferr to take each case separately. Different countries have different democracy needs, so att säga..

Sudans need may not be the same as Ugandas or Gambia's, for examplew.

Noc'la gaumoy

"WE FORM THE CULTURE THAT FORMS US"….noc'la gaumoy.

George Okello The USA has never supported democracy in Africa. It has supported client states a great majority of them fascist tyrannies that terrorised their peoples. A classic example of such client state is that of Yoseri Kayibanda Museveni in Uganda which acts as the USA policeman in the region but has committed the worst genocide in recorded history, amounting to no less than 14 million victims in the Great Lakes region. Donald Trump is just stating the obvious- that nobody believes the lie that America has ever been engaged in spreading democracy. America has been engaged in spreading terror, human suffering and imperial control of Africa's resources. Period.

Lwanzo SawaSawa They never spread democracy anywhere, they just want to get rid of the regime in place to put in place a regime that will help them protect their interests in those countries.

Chimdi Okoro It means Africa will finally evolve by going back to their pre-colonization borders. This is will automatically bring an end to conflicts within strange bed fellows brought together by the Europeans. Nigeria is a practical example.

Sa Majeste The is no system of rule that works for Africa other than pure democracy where every body has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. What type of system are we talking about if we are not trying to return back to thesame system that made some of us to be traded as slaves? Africa should stop blaming America and see our own leaders as our worst enemies. Majority of African leaders are not Africans

Garvey K Marcus It will be a big step forward for western countries to let African alone since they are the one exploiting the continent,taking advantage of weak laws in many African countries.We would finally be much relieved and our reputation and dignity as African restored to when we had powerful kingdoms,ruled both Africa and some parts of Europe and travelled around the world before anyone else.

George Ter Ayua The US should have considered this long before causing chaos in an orderly Libya; war in a once peaceful Libya.
Well, I guess they've collected enough oil, now they want to quit.

Emmanuel M Aremo Stop in support for democracy could undermine US leadership in the world, would also affect US foreign interests based on its values and principles of freedom. Best bet would be for US to establish democracies which have shared values and principles, that way the US can still maintain influence and lead.
