Africa?The Norwegian Council for Africa

Information from The Norwegian Council for Africa
Just 2 weeks before the US election, we will discuss the impact of this
election on Africa with Obamas' very own nephew in Kenya, Samel Muene, and
other African experts. This is your chance to ask questions or have your
say!
Join us on your PC as we ask the question: Will a new US president with
ancestry from Kenya mean a better deal for the people of Africa?
The Cyber Seminar is a virtual seminar - a forum for participants all over
the world to engage with each other and with panellists from academia,
politics and civil society on issues of current interest to Africa.
For the upcoming session, the topic is the role of the USA in Africa. Is the
US building an Empire in Africa? Is the recently renewed US interest in
Africa founded on Africa as an oil producer and producer of natural
resources? Why is the US Army building an Africa commando? Will Obama
change the US policy on Africa? Will a new man in the White House mean
fairer trade relations with countries in Sub Saharan Africa?
If you are interested in some background information about the role of the
US in Africa and Obamamania on the continent, have a look at what some
African blogers write.
Participate in the Cyber Seminar organized by the Norwegian Council for
Africa and engage with African experts and other participants on the future
role of the USA in Africa.
Panellists: Samuel Muene, Obamas nephew in Kenya and Carina Ray, Professor
at Fordham University, USA
Place : World Wide Web
Date: Tuesday October 21st (2 weeks before the US Election)
Time: 15.00 - 18.00 local time Norway (GMT + 2)
