Posters of Barack Obama festooned the streets of the Ghana capital on Thursday ahead of the first visit to sub-Saharan Africa by the first black U.S. president. Obama will go from the Group of Eight summit in Italy on Friday to press his message that conflict-tainted Africa needs good governance and economic progress.
“Millions of Africans across the continent are waiting to hear from President Obama on his vision and priorities in terms of U.S. policy towards Africa,” said Christopher Fomunyoh of the Washington-based NDI.
