We're Listening to Africa and Strengthening Ties – Ambassador Linda... allafrica: Africa
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations during interview with AllAfrica's Tami Hultman.African nations have"unlimited" potential to become"breadbaskets" that not only feed the continent but also a hungry world,in Accra earlier this month.
I learned so much from that trip. First and foremost, what I learned is that Africa - the continent, the people of Ghana, the people of Uganda, Cape Verde - they are so resilient. You see resiliency, you see strength, and you see fortitude among the people. What I did hear from African leaders I spoke to in all three countries is that they are feeling the impact of Russia's war in Ukraine. They're feeling it in energy prices. They're feeling it in food prices. I visited a granary - grain mill - in Uganda that gets 40 percent of its wheat from Ukraine. I heard them facing shortages and high prices. Farmers expressed concerns about the high price of fertilizer. The price had more than tripled for these farmers.
