In August 2018, Theresa May announced that UK overseas aid would be refocused to ‘crack down on illegal migration and organised crime and to support fragile countries in Africa’. She made the statement during a three-day trip to Africa, and you could say that her intended audience included African governments as well as the UK public.<\/p>\n
