Violent riots by Eritrean asylum seekers; Israel foreign minister Eli Cohen publicizes meeting with Libya and chaos ensues; turmoil and coups in Niger and Gabon.
What’s going on in Africa and why does it matter to Israel?
To discuss these issues, my guest this week on the Caroline Glick Show is Ambassador J Peter Pham. Pham, who currently serves as a Distinguished Fellow at the Atlantic Council and a Senior Advisor at the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy, is the former U.S. Special Envoy for the Sahel and Great Lakes Regions of Africa.
Amb. Pham and I discussed:
– the stakes and the pathologies of U.S. – and Israeli – ties with Africa.
– how to build and prioritize Israel’s ties with the least considered, yet strategically critical region of the world.
– the potential future for Israel and Africa.
