Official US positions must be confusing to Africans

Obama goes to Africa and tells leaders they must change laws against homosexuality. Africans tell Obama not to mess with their culture and society.

Obama started a war of words and some deeds with Israel before he was elected, and his first address to the world was in Cairo to a Muslim audience. Obama’s actions show: Muslim nations good, Israel bad.

The foreign minister of Kenya disagrees with the president of the United States.

“Claims that Israel is being diplomatically isolated are not true because the majority of African countries ‘see Israel as a very close friend,’ the foreign minister of Kenya told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.

“Amina Mohamed, who is on a visit to Israel with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, said that Israel ‘has more friends than not on the continent.’ She pointed to the growing economic ties between African countries and Israel. Although Mohamed acknowledged that ‘it is very difficult to break the African bloc’.” that often votes against Israel at the United Nations, she noted that Kenya and other countries ‘actually have been quite courageous in breaking away sometimes.’”
