On Saturday, President Obama addressed a crowd in Ghana, where he spoke candidly about the African continent’s state of affairs.
Obamas message was described as a kind of tough love, encouraging democracy and at the same time warning African nations they need to take care of themselves.
Yaw Nyarko, a professor of economics and director of Africa House at New York University, joins Martin Savidge to discuss why the president chose Ghana and what is at stake for the U.S. in Africa.
