For years, the CIA has actually evaluated African presidents in advance of their sees to the USA, profiling them with “browse through items” for making use of federal government authorities, according to Judd Devermont, a previous White Home Africa supervisor. Devermont, currently a non-resident elderly consultant of the Africa Program at the Facility for Strategic and International Researches, released a term paper based upon declassified CIA papers, news release and magazines in between 1961 and 1987. The browse through item profiled Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie as a having “uncommon individual vigour and resolution”. Zambia’s founding head of state Kenneth Kaunda was called “extremely psychological” and Senegal’s founding leader, Leopold Sedar Senghor, was called having “an excellent mix of intellectual and political abilities”. Devermont thinks that, while a few of these items were exact, others were deceptive.
