The US President Donald Trump yesterday Wednesday Sept. 20th, 2017, held a working lunch with African Leaders, excluding the man from Etoudi, where he advised them in his own words: 'My friends go to your countries to get rich'.
Trump's invitees yesterday were:
His Excellency Alassane Ouattara, President of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire
His Excellency Marcel Amon-Tanoh, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cote d’Ivoire
His Excellency Hailemariam Desalegn, Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia
His Excellency Dr. Workeneh Gebeyehu, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia
His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, President of the Republic of Ghana
The Honorable Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration of the Republic of Ghana
His Excellency Alpha Conde, President of the Republic of Guinea
The Honorable Mamadi Toure, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Guieans Abroad of the Republic of Guinea
His Excellency Dr. Hage G. Geingob, President of the Republic of Namibia
The Honorable Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of International Relations and Cooperation of the Republic of Namibia

His Excellency Yowri Kaguta Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda
The Honorable Sam Kutesa, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uganda.
It was strange not to see the Yaounde - Etoudi Landlord or any of his Ministers on the list, but we learned Trump wants to give Paul Biya a silent treatment for turning off internet on millions on English speaking Cameroonians for more than three months, arresting unarmed protesting University students and illegally detaining political reformers.
However, Biya was at the general dinner offered by the US Presidential couple. He entered unannounced with his wife Chantal, accompanied by the highest number of entourage, as everyone rolled their eyes, wondering why he should be having a train of persons following and guarding him. Trump Sidelines Biya During Round Table Chat With African Leaders, But Invited Him & Wife For The General Dinner.
