Njoki Njehu: What’s Missing in US/Africa Policy?

The V-Man of FreakRadio.org (now 101.1 FM) in Santa Cruz interviewed African activist Njoki Njehu of Keyna about the 2003 President Bush trip to Africa. At the time of the interview, Njoki Njehu was based in Washington D.C. and recommended several D.C.-related web sites for world-wide activism: transafricaforum.org, africaaction.org and, of course, 50years.org which is her home organization.

Njoki Njehu makes it clear that the Bush visit to Africa was very different from President Clinton’s as the residents of Island of Gorée, a symbol of the African slave trade, were forced, shortly after dawn, into a football stadium as a “safety precaution” during the administrative visit.
