In conclusion, the discourse surrounding human rights in Africa challenges the prevailing notion that prioritizing human rights hinders diplomatic relations. Instead of abandoning these values in the face of global competition, the U.S. must recognize the intrinsic link between human rights and African development. Advocacy for human rights is not merely a Western imposition; it resonates deeply with grassroots movements across the continent. Embracing this perspective will not only align the U.S. with progressive forces but will also ensure a more stable and prosperous relationship with African nations, rooted in respect and mutual growth.
