Trump-Backed Colombian Leader To Shut Embassies in Ethiopia, South Africa & Ghana | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost explains how a Trump-backed South American leader is targeting African embassies. Colombia's right-wing President-elect, Abelardo de la Espriella, has announced a sweeping overhaul of the nation's foreign policy ahead of taking office on August 7. Following a governance style similar to Donald Trump, Espriella aims to streamline foreign operations, cut bureaucratic costs, and reinvest savings into domestic priorities. As part of this major shift, Colombia will shutter 14 embassies globally, significantly scaling back its presence in Africa by closing missions in South Africa, Algeria, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Senegal. While regional neighbouring missions will manage ongoing diplomatic affairs for most impacted countries, Espriella is completely severing ties with Cuba and Nicaragua, labelling them 'tyrannies'. Simultaneously, the incoming administration is reversing outgoing President Gustavo Petro's foreign policy decisions by planning an embassy in Jerusalem, halting an embassy opening in Palestine, and establishing a strategic new diplomatic hub in Nigeria.Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
