The continent did not feature too highly when Mr Trump was president the last time - Indeed, his attitude towards Africa is perennially remembered through a comment that rapidly became a social media meme: sh*thole countries.
Immigration is a massive issue and especially in Africa, as subsequent editions of the unique biennial African Youth survey have shown since it was first released in 2020. The issue is not binary, black or white, so the solution must be more nuanced.
Ironically, it is the nuances that many will ignore when approaching a Trump administration. There is no doubt that President Trump's first term in office was disruptive, sometimes deliberately so, at other times organically.
If Africa can find the confidence to take sentiment out of the equation and make a business pitch that makes sense, this could well be a very profitable and peaceful four years indeed.
