Perhaps the greatest legacy of the Biden administration’s stewardship of Africa policy has been the advance of Russia across the Sahel. In February 2021, the five Sahel countries held a regional summit. French President Emmanuel Macron attended by video conference but remained live online for hours after his initial speech.

Even after the leaders of Mali, and then Burkina Faso and Niger, fell to coups, the Biden administration showed a distinct lack of seriousness about the region. The Pentagon puts a defense attaché in Chad but gives no meaningful program budget. When Rwanda buffets the Central African Republic and considers doing likewise with Benin, Phee and USAID Administrator Samantha Power respond with gratuitous insults. ..."
