What does Boris Johnson think of Africa? | General news

As conservative leader Boris Johnson crosses the threshold of 10 Downing Street on Wednesday, there is no doubt that Brexit will be the most concerned. But what does he think of this continent?

There may be clues in what he wrote about Africa.

In a blog published in 2002 following a visit to Uganda, he wrote that the "problem [in Africa] It's not that we were once in charge, but that we are no longer in charge. "

He said that colonialism had ended slavery and brought cash crops, while aid efforts were bringing about a politically correct one.

The same year, he wrote in The Daily Telegraph that the Commonwealth provided the Queen with "a crowd of regular and cheering spectators".

In 2016, he wrote in the Sun newspaper that the then president, Barack Obama, had an "ancestral aversion to the British empire" because he is "half-Kenyan".

Mr. Johnson never escapes the colorful phrase, but when he takes office, he will focus on the practicalities of a post-Brexit Britain, which will include the conclusion of 39, trade agreements with African countries.
