 PRESIDENT Bush is in the east African nation on the second leg of a six-day five-nation tour of the continent. Its main focus is on highlighting the success of projects to fight Aids and malaria.Mr Bush urged the US Congress to renew his global programme to combat Aids. He also wants it doubled from $15bn to $30bn. While on a visit to Tanzania, Mr Bush signed a $698m deal with Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikweteto to reduce poverty. The deal will help improve roads, power and water supplies and comes as part of the Millennium Challenge compact, which makes grants to countries which stick to democratic principles and sound economic policies. Mr Bush also wants to allay concerns about a new military command he wants to base in Africa to work with African militaries to deal with trafficking or terror. So far, Liberia is the only nation to have offered to host the US base. There are already some 1,700 US troops in Djibouti. |
