During his first term in office, John Mahama, who returned as Ghana’s president for a second stint this January, floated the idea of “trade not aid”. That was in 2016. Speaking to the United Nations General Assembly, Mahama said: “Africa does not need your sympathy or development assistance.” Instead, he said, it wanted a “fair chance to trade with the rest of the world” and to increase trade and investment within the African continent.
