The Maybot is in Africa which has huge potential for economic growth.
Yet I find it incredible that this is the first time that a British PM has visited sub Saharan Africa since David Cameron went to Nelson Mandela's memorial service in 2013 and the first time a British PM has visited Kenya (Africa's 3rd biggest economy and the power house of East Africa) since Margaret Thatcher in 1988!
There have been plenty of trade missions to the Middle and Far East yet it seems our masters have neglected Africa. A continent full of natural resources, agricultural potential, and inventive people with a variety of rich and vibrant cultures.
France's Macron has visited twice in the short time he has been President and the Chinese have been investing heavily across the continent for 15 years or so.
So why is this?
Is it some sort of post colonial guilt syndrome that infests the Civil Service?
or have we just been gazing at our EU naval?
