The US State Department announces that President Donald Trump’s senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs Massad Boulos has also been appointed its senior adviser for Africa.

As part of the new role, Boulos will travel later this week to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Kenya, and Uganda to meet with government officials and business leaders in addition to “advancing efforts for durable peace in the eastern DRC and to promote US private sector investment in the region,” the State Department says.
