Another Summit, another snub

The meeting was not designed as a come-together party for the more than 50 African leaders and Obama. It was a serious meeting to discuss critical issues affecting Africa’s development and its partnership with the world’s single largest economy.  That is why presidents such as South Africa’s Jacob Zuma did not attend alone.

He pulled along his vice-president. Every other invited president attended, except for Botswana’s Ian Khama, and the presidents of Ivory Coast, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
