On Monday, September 29, at 12:00 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Africa Center will host an #ACFrontPage conversation with Macky Sall, the former president of Senegal and past chairperson of the African Union, to discuss Africa’s economic, security, and diplomatic roles in the world, amid a shifting geopolitical landscape and changing US-Africa relationship.
Sall—a member of the Atlantic Council’s International Advisory Board—will share his vision for a proactive African diplomacy as opportunities for the continent expand and threats continue to loom. Speaking on the occasion of publishing his latest book, “Africa, Leading from the Heart,” Sall will also reflect upon his career, including his twelve years at the helm of Senegal.
