In 2025 and 2026, the United States made four separate policy decisions that each, on their own, would have been significant for Africa. Together, they amount to the most comprehensive withdrawal of American engagement from the continent in a generation. AGOA exports have fallen 32%. PEPFAR's collapse could produce 74,000 excess HIV deaths by 2030. A new remittance tax threatens $168 million in annual flows to Nigeria alone. And more than half of African nations now face U.S. visa bond requirements of up to $15,000. This is not four unrelated stories. It is one pattern. Africa Reporters Network traces each punch, the countries carrying the damage, and what Africa is doing in response. Read the full investigation.
