| Summary |
Uganda, Ethiopia, and Eritrea are among the most dynamic countries in Africa. Their success in reconstructing war-devastated economies and restoring a degree of stability has won them international praise. But their aggressive foreign policies and their reluctance to yield to international pressure for a quick transition to democracy raise the possibility that they will sink into a new cycle of war and economic decay. What positive role can the international community play in countries where trends are so contradictory? This question will confront the United States - and not only in Africa - with increasing frequency.
