Nigerians furious at Moseley Braun Nigeria trip during convention
Nigerians in exile fired off emails criticizing Senator Carol Moseley Braun for a August trip to Nigeria meeting with Gen. Sani Abacha. They say she failed to press for democratic reforms and that her visit undermined U.S. efforts and harmed African democracy. Critics include Randall Robinson of TransAfrica and Jesse Jackson. The dispute centers on whether the trip reflected support for an undemocratic regime and how it affects sanctions and Nigeria's future.
