LUANDA, Angola — President Joe Biden will make history Monday as he becomes the first American head of state to visit the West African nation of Angola, where he will showcase U.S.-backed infrastructure projects designed to link three nations. Biden will also announce initiatives related to global health and security cooperation, among other things, a senior administration official said Friday. “We’re preparing the ground for eventually reaching all the way to Tanzania, connecting the Atlantic and Indian oceans,” a second administration official said Friday, of the system which also runs through Zambia and Congo. U.S. investment, the senior administration official said, is spurring economic growth for people in Africa in ways that Chinese spending isn’t. Carlo Angerer reported from Luanda, Angola, and Aaron Gilchrist from Washington, D.C.

President Biden arrived on Monday in Cape Verde, an island nation off the coast of Africa, for the first stop of the only trip to sub-Saharan Africa of his presidency, a journey shadowed by his decision to pardon his son of tax and gun convictions. Air Force One touched down for refueling at Amílcar Cabral International Airport on the island of Sal on a bright, sunny morning, before continuing on to Angola, where the president will work to bolster American ties. While waiting for the plane to be readied for the next leg of the flight, Mr. Biden met at an airport lounge with Ulisses Correia e Silva, the prime minister of Cabo Verde. The president is scheduled to arrive by evening in Luanda, the Angolan capital, where he will visit a slavery museum and highlight a new $1 billion rail corridor as a primary example of his administration’s plan to help lift the region’s economy.

☆ Biden’s Visit to Africa Will Focus on History and Economic Hope
  + stars: | 2024-12-01 | by ( Zolan Kanno-Youngs | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
President Biden will begin a long-promised trip to Africa on Sunday night when he travels to Angola for a visit aimed at acknowledging the long and painful history between the two nations while committing to a future of economic investment. Mr. Biden’s trip to Africa is the first by an American president since Barack Obama traveled to Kenya and Ethiopia in 2015. The visit, likely Mr. Biden’s last overseas trip during his time in office, comes after he pledged in 2022 to visit the continent to make clear that the United States was “all in on Africa’s future.” After multiple delays, Mr. Biden is conducting a three-day diplomatic tour of Angola, where he will visit a slavery museum and spotlight a rail corridor that his aides point to as a primary example of his administration’s economic strategy in the region. The $1 billion project, known as the Lobito Corridor, would link Angola with Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, nations rich with the critical minerals used to make batteries for smartphones and electric vehicles. By highlighting the project, Mr. Biden is trying to cement efforts to expand American access to the critical resources in Africa and, in effect, compete with China’s growing influence on the continent.

☆ From one of Britain's most popular toys to the target of police raids: how a children's doll became a symbol of racism
  + stars: | 2023-04-16 | by ( Isobel Van Hagen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
A police raid on a bar just outside of London renewed a debate over racist dolls. But despite the long history of the racist trope, the debate over the doll's place in British culture continues. Revellers take part in the Children's Parade at Notting Hill Carnival in London, Britain, August 28, 2022. But it does appear that there is some gradual shift in public opinion happening with the dolls. Nevertheless, the enduring popularity of the blackface doll creates the impression "that we live in a post-racial society," Scott said.
