President Bush received a warm welcome upon his arrival in Africa today, as he heralded progress on the continent in fighting disease and poverty with aid from the U.S., while also defending his administration’s approach to the conflict in Kenya.
The president was greeted as a champion of “virtue” in African governance, in recognition of his determined effort to give financial aid only to African leaders who root out corruption.
Mr. Bush landed, after an overnight flight, in the small west African country of Benin, where he spent three hours before heading on to this east African nation, where he will spend three nights.
“I'm here to really confirm to the people of Benin and the people on the continent of Africa that the United States is committed to helping improve people's lives,” Mr. Bush said at a press conference with Beninese President Thomas Yayi Boni.
