John Kerry says Africa has “Natural Resources”, Therefore the US is a “Natural Partner” | Global Research

US Secretary of State John Kerry declared that the US is
interested in Africa’s natural resources. Kerry said that the US and the
continent of Africa are “Natural Partners” because of its abundant
resources and their “know-how for economic development”.

The Associated Press reported what Kerry said to members of the Addis
Ababa diplomatic corps and the Young Africa leader network following
his visit to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. He said:

Africa has the natural resources,
capacity and the know-how for economic development, Kerry said, adding
that the U.S. is the continent’s “natural partner.” He said that over
the next three years, 37 of the 54 African nations will hold national
elections with millions of voters going to the polls. And he called on
Africans to combat the political corruption that the African Union says
has cost the people of Africa tens of billions of dollars
