Tenures end for mission chiefs in at least 29 countries, including 13 in Africa, as US reshapes its diplomatic posture
The Trump administration is recalling nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial and other senior embassy posts as it moves to reshape the US diplomatic posture abroad with personnel deemed fully supportive of Donald Trump’s “America first” priorities.
Africa is the continent most affected by the removals, with ambassadors from 13 countries being removed: Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Gabon, Côte d’Ivoire, Madagascar, Mauritius, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia and Uganda.
Second is the Asia-Pacific region, with ambassadorial changes coming to six countries: Fiji, Laos, the Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and Vietnam affected.
Four countries in Europe (Armenia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Slovakia) are affected; as are two each in the Middle East (Algeria and Egypt); South Asia (Nepal and Sri Lanka); and the western hemisphere (Guatemala and Suriname).

Oooh, this surely must be a sign of good things to come.
sounds like this allows russia to move on some of the countries with thier influence.
Mainstream media does so much normalizing of Trump. It’s just “reshaping diplomatic posture for (undefined by the newspaper) ‘America first’ priorities” rather than firing public servants to install regime loyalists to threaten non-white governments.
This is, in the literal sense, conservative reporting. They’re not being fired, they’re being called back to Washington (though probably to “reapply for their own jobs”, for which they won’t be accepted).
Some analysis would be good, yes, but between just the facts and bad analysis, I’ll take just the facts every time and read between the lines on my own.
sanewashing, and hypernormalising him.
Give us Caroline back ya wretched seppos!
He did this exact same thing in his first term. Wrecked US diplomacy in a single swipe.
all the sake for PUTIN. did we not forget he allowed putin to put bounties on the troops.
A shit President for a shithole country. American power will be forever damaged and will never recover from this.
It’s probably for the better.
Let us hope that the US withdrawal allows the African nations to do what Europe is doing. Europe should increase fair partnerships and relationships to build up our brothers and sisters.
