Sudanese philanthropist Mo Ibrahim said in 2013 Africans were witnessing “a gradual but continuous withdrawal of the U.S. from Africa … all the more disconcerting that it is happening even when a son of our continent is in the White House.” Obama’s U.S.-Africa policy didn’t measure up to George W Bush’s, Ibrahim said. Under Bush’s administration, U.S. aid to sub-Saharan Africa increased four-fold, from $1 billion in 2002 to $ 8.1 billion in 2010, according to the Congressional Research Service.
