The European Union says it doesn't want to be just a natural resource harvester in Africa, choosing, instead, to promise new assistance to help the continent transit to greener energy.
On the second day of the African Climate Summit in Nairobi, the European Union said it was backing the continent with assistance to create jobs with a special investment plan on adapting to climate change, an additional stripe to a region that has perennially been accused of exploiting Africa for centuries.
