US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has begun a four-nation tour of the continent in Cape Verde, where he praised the island nation, calling it truly a beacon of stability in the region, at a time when there’s more of our share of instability and challenge.
Mr Blinken will also be going to Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Angola.
Blinken, who last visited the continent in March last year, has recently had his hands full with the conflict in the Middle East.
But, quoting President Biden, he told his audience in Cape Verde that they are all in when it comes to Africa.
