## Resource

Germany's Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul just wrapped up a high-stakes Africa tour with stops in Mauritania, Nigeria, and South Africa. So, is Berlin finally treating Africa as a true strategic partner, or looking after its own interests? Eddy Micah Jr. speaks to Fidel Amakye Owusu, a geopolitical analyst based in Ghana and DW's Silja Fröhlich, who accompanied the foreign minister on his visit.
