Africa Faces Uncertainty and Opportunity with Trump's Return

The return of Donald Trump to the US presidency could bring both opportunities and challenges for Africa, as his preference for transactional politics over multilateral diplomacy may impact peacekeeping and security efforts on the continent. Trump's previous administration saw a shift away from the 'liberal peace' approach, favoring direct deals with autocratic leaders, which could continue in his second term. This approach may affect ongoing conflicts in regions like Sudan and Ethiopia, as well as US relations with African nations amid geopolitical tensions involving Middle Eastern and Russian influences.
