Africa's regional conflicts were top on the agenda on Thursday when US President Joe Biden hosted his Kenyan counterpart William Ruto at the White House. Mr Biden put African conflicts as a key agenda item for discussions with Dr Ruto who arrived in the US capital Wednesday from Atlanta, Georgia.
To allay concerns over the United States' geopolitical focus being more invested in tackling the Russia-Ukraine and the Israel-Gaza wars, the Special Assistant to President Biden and Senior Director for African Affairs, Dr Frances Brown told the Standard that the US was fully engaged on African affairs.
