Please join the CSIS Africa Program for a unique event featuring Representative Gregory W. Meeks (D-NY).
Newly elected as Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and the first Black Member of Congress to serve as Chair of that committee, Representative Meeks will outline his vision for a reimagined approach to U.S.-Africa policy in a democratically controlled house and senate. Representative Meeks will also engage directly with Ugandan and Ethiopian activists working on the frontlines to advance democracy in their respective countries and in the region. In conversation with Rep. Meeks, panelists Rosebell Kagumire and Tsedale Lemma will discuss Uganda’s controversial elections, the conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, and the impact of the Capitol attack on the U.S. government’s credibility. This dynamic conversation will conclude with key recommendations for the new Biden Administration.

In the dying days of the Trump Presidency, the US State Department designated Cuba a ‘State Sponsor of Terrorism’. Regrettably, the measure will slow efforts by the Biden administration to take a calibrated approach to gradually improving US-Cuba relations.
The decision to do so was made by the outgoing US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, with little external consultation and after months of legal review. It is, by any measure, hard to justify as anything other than a throw of the political dice by someone who believes himself to be in the running as the next Republican Presidential candidate.

star power and no substance. the not so blind quotes from the likes of representative meeks, and william clay. respected long-time serving members and members of the congressional black caucus pushing back at ocasio-cortez just 10 short days ago for saying that nancy pelosi was a racist. she was targeting them because they were women of color. by the way, people are saying oh, president trump wants these four to be the face of the democratic party. you know who else does? those four do. they re loving their time in the spotlight. and i can attack them on policy but they ve been here for six months. i can t exactly pull what they said two years ago. they haven t been. i m always going to defend the flag and law enforcement and defend our great country and men and women in uniform. those people vote against equipping the military with what they need, equipping
