Aug 18, 2011 USA/Africa: Wage Penalties for Black Immigrants
"Contrary to the popular impression, black male immigrants
are not better off in weekly wages than U.S.-born black
males after controlling for observable demographic
characteristics [such as level of education and
experience]. ... U.S.-born black men earn 19.1% less than
similar U.S.-born white men. West Indian men do slightly
worse and earn 20.7% less than similar native white men.
Haitian men and African men do substantially worse than
U.S.-born black men; Haitian men earn 33.8% less, and
African men earn 34.7% less than similar native white men."

Aug 18, 2011 USA/Africa: New Data on African Immigrants
"From 1980 to 2009, the African-born population in United
States grew from just under 200,000 to almost 1.5 million.
Today, Africans make up a small (3.9 percent) but growing
share of the country's 38.5 million immigrants. ... Over
one-third of all African immigrants resided in New York,
California, Texas, and Maryland." - Migration Information

Jun 30, 2011 USA/Gabon: Blind Eye for Corruption
The White House was brief in an official statement after the
June 9 visit of the President of Gabon. The statement concluded
by noting that "President Obama urged President Bongo Ondimba to
take bold steps to root out corruption and to reform the
judiciary and other key institutions to ensure the protection of
human rights, and he welcomed the reforms that Gabon has taken
under President Bongo Ondimba to bring more transparency and
accountability to government. Both leaders agreed to continue
to work together to promote peace and security, as well as
advance good governance in Gabon."
