davidbfpo,

Okay, I must have gotten Lusophone Africa wrong, but the US government supported the Apartheid Regime in South Africa for a very long time - until public opinion forced it to reluctantly change its mind.

No one can dispute that.

The same applied applied to Apartheid South Africa's defacto colony: Namibia.

So US policy in Africa has never been distinguish by altruism or an anti-colonial stance.
