Africa may be facing uncertainty in relating with the US under President Donald Trump, who takes back the mantle on Monday for the next four years.

Trump, in his first term, aroused controversy, labelling the continent in unfavourable language, but continued with some programmes established by his predecessors, such as the President’s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (Pepfar). Now, Pepfar may be in jeopardy after some Republican Congressmen claimed it had been used to procure abortions.
