'I hate all American Presidents'

As millions of US citizens head to the polls to elect a new president, billions of people across the globe—including in Africa—will follow the elections closely because whoever is elected will have worldwide implications.

Many are even debating which candidates would be better for Africa. To help answer this question, here is a clip of Do Keum-Yeun, a South Korean woman who, at a 2017 protest against the installation of a US missile defence system in her village, said she hates 'all American presidents.'

Her sentiments imply that no US leader benefits South Korea, especially the Global South. At African Stream, we believe this should be the guiding principle for all Pan-Africanists and anti-imperialists regarding the US elections in particular and its politics in general. In other words, regardless of who wins the US elections, Africans and people of the Global South will still get the short end of the imperialist stick.
