	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - The United States and Africa
		In 1987 the United States leveraged its support for UNITA to preside over a tripartite negotiation that led to the departure of South African and Cuban troops from Angola and the South African decision to relinquish its controversial UN mandate over Namibia.
		In the area of economic development, however, the United States reverted to its original low profile by relying on the World Bank and the IMF to bear the major responsibility for leading the Africans toward market economies and private-sector-led growth.
		It is not surprising, therefore, that in December 2002 President George Bush invited the heads of state of Kenya, Djibouti, and Ethiopia to make official visits to the White House, an honour that has not been conferred on African countries very frequently.
