奥巴马：非洲进步取决于发展与民主

In his farewell speech capping a historic trip to Kenya and Ethiopia, U.S. President Barack Obama hailed Africa\'s extraordinary progress, while noting that such progress can only be sustained through continued development and democracy for all.

While not naming China, Mr. Obama emphasized what sets the United States apart in its investment in Africa. “Economic relationships cannot simply be about other countries building infrastructure with foreign labor or extracting Africa’s natural resources. Real economic partnerships have to be a good deal for Africa—they have to create jobs and capacity for Africans. That’s the kind of partnership America offers,” he said.

The White House announced the United States intends to provide at least $40 million in assistance related to countering violent extremism in East Africa.

Obama told reporters Monday Ethiopia has played a vital role in fighting the Somali militant group Al-Shabab.

奥巴马没有点名中国，但强调了美国与其他投资非洲国家之间的不同。他说，经济关系不仅仅是其他国家用外国工人在非洲修建基础设施或开采非洲的自然资源。真正的经济伙伴应当对非洲有利，为非洲人创造就业机会和能力。这就是美国给予的伙伴关系。

白宫宣布，美国准备提供至少4千万美元，用于与东非反恐相关的援助项目。

奥巴马星期一对记者说，埃塞俄比亚在打击索马里激进组织青年党的斗争中发挥了重要作用。
