US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Kenya.
Hillary Clinton is making a tour of some African states and she is presently in Kenya. She would be leaving Kenya today to continue her trip that would include a stop in South Africa, Cape Verde, the Republic of Nigeria and some other African states.
South Africa and Nigeria are included in this trip to show that the US considers them strong allies in Africa despite the fact that US President choose to visit Ghana as the flagship of African democracy and I am sure that this did not sit too well in Pretoria and Abuja.
Anyway she struck on the same point that President Obama did when he visited Ghana. That is that all the ingredients are in place in Africa for the continent to take off and start competing with the rest of the world. She made that statement yesterday in Kenya which was her first stop. Kenya was the closest of the African countries to the US until they had their election trouble a couple of years back that backtrack their democracy. They would have been the logical choice for the President to visit as the first African state. That reason together with the fact that his father was born in Kenyan.

I like that fact that she would be making a stop on Nigeria. Nigeria is the most populated state in the continent with one of every four Africans being a Nigeria. So they do have an influence in the continent. They are the country that provided the most troops during the peace keeping mission in Sudan in the days when Obasanjo was President of the country. I would like to see the reaction of the people when she gets there.
