Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks with a member of the faculty at Cheikh Anta Diop University during a press conference in Dakar, Senegal. In a veiled shot at China, Clinton encouraged African leaders to embrace partnerships with responsible foreign powers. “The days of having outsiders come and extract the wealth of Africa for themselves leaving nothing or very little behind should be over in the 21st century,” she said. Without mentioning China by name, she maintained that unlike other countries, “America will stand up for democracy and universal human rights even when it might be easier or more profitable to look the other way, to keep the resources flowing.”
