My colleague Kimberley Curtis at the FPA Human Rights Blog has an important post, “Saying enough is enough,” on the implications of House of Representatives passing the Lord’s Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act.
Also check out Texas in Africa’s take on her attendance at a Town Hall meeting hosted by the government of Liberia. Things might just be looking up for Liberia. They have one of the best leaders in Africa in Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. American engagement seems to be hitting the right notes.
Both of these cases seem like examples of the possibilities for Post-Cole War American policy toward Africa that is not blinded by a Post-9/11 mindset.
