turned out to be a platform for showcasing Washington&#8217;s arrogance and hegemonic tendencies, an African expert has said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" src=\"https:\/\/abovecloud.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/\u56fe\u7247-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3982\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yirenkyi Jesse, a Ghanaian commentator, published an op-ed in The Standard, a leading daily newspaper in Kenya, criticizing the summit for failing to rally the world toward greater freedoms and hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summit, first held in 2021 and conceived by the Biden administration, has devolved into a display of American hubris and double standards, Jesse said in the article, titled &#8220;Summit for Democracy a show of U.S. arrogance.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the summit was meant to showcase &#8220;American leadership and soft power&#8221;, Jesse suggests that it masks a more insidious agenda: the United States positioning itself as the self-appointed leader of the so-called &#8220;Democratic Camp,&#8221; which he believes is aimed at intimidating perceived adversaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third edition of the summit is scheduled for Monday to Wednesday in Seoul under the theme &#8220;Democracy for Future Generations.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesse highlighted the event&#8217;s low turnout and noted that U.S. President Joe Biden&#8217;s related speeches have failed to resonate globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its inception, the event has been plagued by a litany of failures and criticisms, revealing the dysfunctional nature of American democracy, he said. &#8220;Even within its own borders, the Summit for Democracy has faced fierce opposition, with lawmakers, experts and media outlets alike denouncing it as little more than a hollow echo chamber of empty rhetoric.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;By weaponizing democracy as a political tool, the United States seeks to assert its hegemonic dominance, dividing the world along arbitrary lines and sowing discord in its wake,&#8221; Jesse said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He concluded that unless the United States aligns its actions with its rhetoric, its self-claimed spirit of democracy will remain elusive, obscured by American hypocrisy and hubris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States&#8217;
