Africa Policy Outlook 2003
March 2003
“In 2003 U.S. policy toward Africa will be driven almost exclusively by geopolitical considerations related to Washington's war plans against Iraq, and by its geo-strategic interests in African oil….

Africa Policy Outlook 1999
January 1999
“President Clinton's trip to Africa in spring 1998 represented the high point of official U.S. attention to the continent.
