Africa News Tonight: World assesses Chad election, some Kenyan health workers still on strike, next US president will face Africa challenges - May 13, 2024 Africa News Tonight - VOA Africa

With Chad recently confirming Mahamat Déby as civilian president after a long-delayed election, Western powers are watching to see what role, if any, they will play in countering terror threats in the Sahel region. The Kenyan medical workers strike is partially over, but salary issues for interns still are not resolved, nurses have just given a strike notice, and clinical officials and lab workers are still out. Some analysts say whoever wins the U.S. presidency will face a stiff challenge in trying to restore America's influence and prestige on the continent of Africa.
