I think the clash is not between African and U.S. Episcopalians, but rather liberal vs. conservative.
There was an article in the Los Angeles Times recently about large groups of U.S. epsicopalians chafing under the more liberal leadership, and threatening to split.
Some already have, and are operating under the leadership of the African Anglican Primates.
