总统奥巴马宣布了美对亚撒哈拉非洲新战略，即在促进该地区贸易的同时加强民主建设。Kim Ghattas报道。

The White House said the strategy would focus on strengthening democratic institutions, encourage economic growth and trade. It'll also prioritise peace and security, and promote development. The administration is reaching out to African entrepreneurs through exchange programmes. It will try to match American and African companies for business opportunities, and it's already heavily involved in issues like South Sudan and the capture of the Lord's Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony. But beyond that, the plan is short on detail for now. And although the announcement indicates a renewed focus on Africa, it's unclear how the strategy differs from what the administration has been doing so far.

白宫表示这一战略将集中在加强民主建设，同时促进经济和贸易增长上；优先和平与安全；推进发展。美政府通过交换项目与非洲企业家进行了接触、交流，还将尽力为美非的公司搭建商业合作的桥梁。美方目前已深入插手一些非洲事务如南苏旦，和抓获上帝抵抗军的领导人约瑟夫科尼 的行动。不过，除了以上内容，该战略计划仍需细化。而且，尽管这一申明表明美国将再次聚焦于非洲，但尚不清楚：这一计划到底与目前美政府对非战略有多大区别。
