Bush arrives in Tanzania bearing gift to fight poverty
The gift of the American basketball icon's size-23 hightops spoke to the lighter side of Bush's visit. might elect a black president, Sen. is to provide a $698 million grant to Tanzania. funding is intended to help African governments buy mosquito netting and insecticide to prevent the spread of malaria.
"It breaks my heart to know that little children are dying needlessly because of a mosquito bite,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Bush said.
Bush also attended a roundtable on the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], program,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which Kikwete said is saving lives and helping the African continent avert a health disaster.
Bush said he has requested $30 billion over the next five years for the program.
Though PEPFAR has helped increase accessibility to anti-viral drugs, the program is controversial because there is little focus on distributing condoms -- a staple of the program under President Clinton -- or on sex education,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said Joel Barkan, a senior associate for the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
The program is "largely pursued through faith-based initiatives,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], adding that it's not clear whether the AIDS-prevalence rates are going down.
After their visit to Tanzania,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the president and first lady Laura Bush will travel to Rwanda to meet with President Paul Kagame. has provided nearly 7,000 Rwandan troops with training, and spent more than $17 million to equip the troops and send them to Sudan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], according to National Security adviser Stephen Hadley.
Ethnic and tribal violence has raged for years in Sudan's western Darfur region, leaving about 200,000 dead and more than 2 million displaced. will continue to call the killing what it is -- genocide,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Bush said last week.
The Bushes will go to Ghana then Liberia after visiting Rwanda. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who is on the Africa trip, will head to Kenya on Monday to support efforts to reach political conciliation there.
The country erupted in ethnic violence after a December presidential vote, in which President Mwai Kibaki kept his post. Opposition leader Raila Odinga blasted the results,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], saying the election was rigged. Secretary-General Kofi Annan began mediating between the two groups.
Bush's first stop on the six-day tour was Benin, where he arrived Saturday.
There,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], President Thomas Yayi Boni inducted Bush into the National Order of Benin and gave the American president a sash,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cross medallion and lapel pin. aid dollars were properly spent.
"The United States wants to partner with leaders and their people, but we're not going to do so with people who steal money,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pure and simple,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Bush said.
The United States has given Benin $307 million in a five-year grant to fight poverty, part of Bush's Millennium Challenge Account,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which provides aid to countries that practice democratic principles and sound economic policy.
Bush's trip to Africa is "basically an effort to celebrate successes," said Joel Barkan of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Most Americans picture Africa as the "continent of gloom and doom," but the president is saying the bigger picture is one of "making progress."
Barkan added, "The question might be asked why he's not going to a number of countries," in particular the regional powers of Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria.相关的主题文章:
