Sister Jabou and bro Ousman

Good question for GW Bush. Why did he fail to visit Africa as promised and even did not let Colin Powel go in his place last month.  Bush is not really interested in Africa  otherwise he would have taken action long ago . I think he used this emphasis on AIDS in Africa ( which is world wide but only highlighted Africa) to applease the African American votes come next election, besides in the business areas he promised they are not forthcoming as yet.he may give some chicken change as a token to say he has done us a big favor.

I guess you are right , let us wait and see .
