Botswana president says the West has every reason to play a role in Africa
Botswana President Duma Boko said on Thursday that the West had every reason to play a role in Africa as other global powers like China exert an influence on the continent.
"(The) West has every reason to play its part in Africa, because if it doesn't, there are others who will want to play some part. We have China in the wings, and it's seeking... to exert influence on Africa," he said, speaking during a Reuters NEXT Newsmaker interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
