VOICED : El simbolico legado de Obama en Africa

Barack Obama, the first African American president of the United States, made four visits to Africa during his presidency, starting with Egypt and Ghana in 2009. He encouraged optimism about Africa's future, highlighting its rapid growth. His visits were met with enthusiasm, drawing large crowds and symbolic gestures. In addition to his speeches, Obama launched initiatives like Power Africa to boost electricity production and established a military base in Niger. Despite the emotional connection and high expectations, tangible economic results were limited. As he left office, Obama promised to spend more time in Africa, a continent inspired by his words but disappointed by the lack of substantial actions.
