A nation must think before it acts.
U.S.-Africa Relations Since 9/11
About the Event
The legacy of 9/11, which marked its twentieth anniversary last month, has been far-reaching. FPRI’s Africa Program and the African Center for the Study of the United States at the University of the Witwatersrand have assembled an expert panel to discuss African perspectives on U.S.-Africa relations since 9/11, including the impact on Africa’s security policies, the militarization of U.S. aid to African countries in recent years, and whether Africa may become the next frontier for the U.S. War on Terror.
FPRI is happy to provide this event free of charge thanks to the generous support of our members, partners, and event attendees. If you are not currently a member, the suggested donation is $25.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our events coordinator, Kayla Wendt at kwendt@fpri.org.
