U.S. Africa policy in 2004 will continue to be characterized by a duplicity that has emerged as the principal hallmark of the Bush Administration approach to the continent, says Africa Action's 'Africa Policy Outlook 2004'. "On the one hand, Africa's priorities are being marginalized and undermined by a U.S. foreign policy preoccupied with other parts of the world. On the other hand, the Bush White House is callously manipulating Africa, claiming to champion the continent's needs with its compassionate conservative agenda." The outlook examines HIV/AIDS, human development, economic relations, war, peace and human rights, oil and strategic military relations.
