New York Times: Crisis in West Africa

June 16th: Terrorism Threat Grows in West Africa

My comment, posted on the NY Times website:
“Americans! We need to find ways — as our government is abandoning the people of Africa — to reach out as private citizens. My wife and I know some of these people — kind, smart, creative, hardworking peace activists in Ivory Coast, Liberia, Cameroon, Nigeria, and Kenya — through an online community that we host. One promising idea — from an immigrant from Cameroon who became a U.S. citizen and served in our military — “business diplomacy.” Americans making business investments in Africa to generate wealth, jobs, transfer technology, build relationships, and support education — and paths to a brighter future for young people. A win-win for everyone.”

The reporter’s reply:
“Thank you for reading our story and commenting on it. You’re raising such an interesting point, this is exactly what the Trump administration has been striving to focus on in Africa. You might be interested in a story I wrote last month on that matter:”
