The end of an era is here: after spending the last two decades trying to expand their businesses and make money in BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) , the World, rather the American, international investors appear to have shifted their focus: the motto may now be "It is Africa Stupid!". In fact, Africa is where the money is to be made. The point was hightlighted during the US-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington. The Summit, attended by 50 African heads of states, was uprecedented: in its attendance, in setting a new tone for US-Africa relations and its expectations.
President Obama put it clearly in his speech on Tuesday, August 5, 2014:"I want Africans buying more American products. I want Americans buying more African products."
