The Independent quotes Africa Center Director J. Peter Pham on the impact of the Ebola threat on the US-Africa Leaders Summit:
“There is a historic opportunity if the summit can begin to change perception of Africa in the United States,” noted J Peter Pham, Africa Director at the Washington-based think-tank the Atlantic Council. But he too is concerned that extraneous issues like the Boko Haram threat and Ebola could get in the way. “If that happens it will be a tremendous lost opportunity.”
