US Steps Up Africa Push As China Expands Economic, Security Footprint
Authored by Arthur Zhang via The Epoch Times,
The Trump administration says it has helped close 37 commercial deals worth $25.67 billion in Africa as Washington moves to compete with a much larger Chinese economic footprint across the continent.

ICE Begins Deporting Illegal Immigrants To Dangerous African Countries
Imagine entering the US illegally and enjoying the fruits of the American economy for years, only to wake up one day in the darkest of Africa in a country known for cannibalism? The strategy might be ugly, but it might also be ingenious.
Last year, illegal Cuban immigrant Yasmany Moreno de Armas was working and living in Florida. He's now in the Central African Republic, after the Trump administration sent him and dozens of deportees to the deeply impoverished and conflict-ridden nation.
The 31-year-old said he only learned the U.S. government was deporting him to Africa after he arrived there in late July, alongside detainees from countries across the globe, including Ecuador, Honduras, Serbia, Russia and Vietnam.
"We cannot leave, we don't have documents and we're suffering and missing our families, in a continent we don't know..."
