The U.S secretary of State tour in Africa ended during the weekend when he made his final stop in the Senegalese capital – Dakar.

Antony Blinken said on Saturday that his country was investing in Africa without imposing unsustainable levels of debt.

The diplomat made the statement as he witnessed the signing of contracts worth more than 1 billion dollars between four US companies and Senegal as part of the US government’s drive to help Africa build infrastructure with transparent and sustainable deals.
