First US Secretary of State has visited Africa and now Vice President Kamala Harris is visiting.

  Not only this, at the end of the year, US President Joe Biden himself can also visit Africa.

   The African visit of three of America's most powerful leaders indicates that it has to strengthen its relations with Africa, and it is making efforts for this.

  All this is happening at a time when especially China and Russia are getting stronger in terms of challenging America.

   Vice President Kamala Harris started her 9- day visit to Ghana later this week. He also traveled to Tanzania and then Zambia.

  Ghana's focus is on strengthening ties with the African diaspora. It has been witness to many peaceful and democratic changes. The stop here is like an ideal platform for Kamala Harris.

   According to the official statement, the purpose of his visit is to take forward the US- Africa Summit held in Washington in December, where President Biden announced that they would work together to strengthen the future of Africa.

   But is this the future? This future Africa is full of natural resources with a young and growing population, which has attracted many powerful countries towards it.

  US like China and Russia is friend

  Like professor bokpin zambian analyst Dr. Siwa believes that China's influence is more visible when it comes to debt restructuring. Although America wants to present itself as a more reliable partner.

   There is a growing feeling among the people here that Africa should be free to decide what kind of relations it wants to have with which country.

   Sishuva said in a conversation with the BBC that Zambia sees America as a friend.

   I said that Zambia, America from the point of view of the same friend sees as he sees China and Russia.

   He said that when a country seeks help from China, Russia or America, it should not be seen as if that country has become a part of a major powerful bloc.

   He said that efforts to build special relations with African countries can also create difficulties.

   South African President Cyril Ramaphosa had said on his US visit last year that no one should tell us whose partner we should be.

   Senior US officials have told the BBC they have no intention of telling African countries who they should be friends with.

   However, the US, in its relations with African countries, pays special attention to its focus on strengthening democracy. This matter is also expected to be discussed during the visit of Kamala Harris.

  Doubt in Africa

   China does not interfere in the internal politics of African countries. Due to this strategy, his relations with the dictators of Africa are also very good.

   Russia's presence in Africa has recently suffered setbacks in countries like Burkina Faso and Mali. There has been a coup in these countries. Due to this, his relations with France have also been affected. Significantly, both these countries have been a colony of France in the past.

   There is no doubt that after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the West is trying to win the trust of other countries in Africa.

   Countries in Africa are divided in the voting on the Russian attack in the United Nations. Half of the countries that were absent in these polls were from Africa, including Tanzania.

   Now US Vice President Kamala Harris on a visit to Tanzania

   America says that along with human rights, the emphasis on democracy, its relations with Africa should not be compared to China or makes it different from Russia.

    Is the first female President of. There is a lot of enthusiasm among Tanzanians regarding this tour.

   Many experts are considering Harris's visit as a result of the progress being made in this African country and the recognition this progress is getting at the global level.

   The time is not far when Tanzania was ruled by John Magufuli. He was seen as a dictator who kept tight control over the opposition and independent media.

   But Professor Bop pin of Ghana says that the interest of American and Western countries in Africa is being viewed with suspicion...

   He says, "It seems that the reorganization of Africa is at stake again. Mutual respect should be emphasized in these relations."

   The reorganization to which Professor Bop pin is pointing is a matter of the 19th century. Then the European powers had divided the continent among themselves. Followed by decades of an exploitation
