I was working with a number of African heads of state. And after their initial surprise, I think many of them just treated me as they would anybody else.

I am straight forward I am not manipulative I am not two-faced. And I think that that has served me well in all of my roles, particularly as a diplomat, because people knew if I said something, I meant it. If I said no, I meant no, and if I said we could make this work, we would make it work.
