奧巴馬:非洲進步取決於發展與民主大綱

In his farewell speech capping a historic trip to Kenya and Ethiopia, U.S. President Barack Obama hailed Africa's extraordinary progress, while noting that such progress can only be sustained through continued development and democracy for all.

美國總統奧巴馬在結束非洲之行前的告別講話中讚揚非洲取得的非凡成就，但他同時指出，只有通過繼續發展和讓所有的人享有民主，這種進展才能夠持續下去。

While not naming China, Mr. Obama emphasized what sets the United States apart in its investment in Africa. “Economic relationships cannot simply be about other countries building infrastructure with foreign labor or extracting Africa’s natural resources. Real economic partnerships have to be a good deal for Africa—they have to create jobs and capacity for Africans. That’s the kind of partnership America offers,” he said.

奧巴馬沒有點名中國，但強調了美國與其他投資非洲國家之間的不同。他說，經濟關係不僅僅是其他國家用外國工人在非洲修建基礎設施或開採非洲的自然資源。真正的經濟夥伴應當對非洲有利，爲非洲人創造就業機會和能力。這就是美國給予的夥伴關係。

The White House announced the United States intends to provide at least $40 million in assistance related to countering violent extremism in East Africa.

白宮宣佈，美國準備提供至少4千萬美元，用於與東非反恐相關的援助項目。

Obama told reporters Monday Ethiopia has played a vital role in fighting the Somali militant group Al-Shabab.

奧巴馬星期一對記者說，埃塞俄比亞在打擊索馬里激進組織青年黨的鬥爭中發揮了重要作用。
