Bush administration HIV prevention and foreign aid programs have had a lasting positive impact on African nations, said former Bush administration official Jendayi E. Frazer at an Institute of Politics forum last night. Frazer, formerly the leading architect of U.S. Africa policy as U.S. assistant secretary of state for African affairs from 2005 to 2009, called the initiatives she spearheaded “transformative” and said that the new administration should build on its predecessor’s success by increasing dialogue with African leaders to address the myriad health, economic, and political problems that plague the continent...
...diplomats agree with that sentiment is unclear. The foreign ministers of Britain, Belgium and France all headed to DRC and planned to meet with the president, Joseph Kabila. They were then to travel to Rwanda for meetings with President Paul Kagame. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Jendayi Frazer passed through Goma on Friday before visiting Rwanda. On Friday, Kabila and Kagame agreed to attend a summit to try to resolve the issue. They have made similar promises before, but achieved little. And while experts say that efforts are underway, there are still no plans for the Congolese government...

Furthermore, sanctions can produce...
...crackdown may have put opposition activists on the defensive at home, but pressure has been mounting on President Mugabe's government from outside. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Jendayi Fraser said last weekend that the U.N. should consider imposing sanctions on Zimbabwe unless the violence ceases. Unions, civil society and church groups from around the region have also rallied to support Zimbabwe's opposition, successfully preventing a Chinese weapons shipment bound for Zimbabwe from reaching the landlocked country by refusing to offload it in southern African ports. And the reunification of the opposition has supporters hopeful. "This was the moment...
...leaders are currently talking, under the mediating hand of former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, with a view to heading off the slide into catastrophe. Still, there are clear signs that the tribal conflict is now taking an increasingly organized form, which U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Jendayi Frazer characterized as "clear ethnic cleansing." As in the conflicts in what was once Yugoslavia, the purpose of the increasingly organized mobs killing and threatening members of other tribes was to force all members of that tribe to leave an area. And it may take a lot more than agreement...
