Bush is the little puppet in Senegal, i just read the Soleil, a senegal colonist just said Bush used african tour to "make" him a better picture of "humans values" through the world, but the Nigerian oil was more interresting "for 2004" than the nigers destiny, the president Wade just was pale face, and had a indiferrent attitude to his american guest. they jus finished with a Rep sen text who had sad "regrets" to the segregations ages in USA.

"On the first chapter, the United States brings a help of 100 million dollars to several African Eastern European countries to fight against the terrorist networks. The ministry for defense is under discussion with several other countries, of which Algeria and Mali, to obtain the access to bases which would not be permanently occupied, but usable where necessary. Agreements of fuelling, for the Air Force, are being negotiated with Senegal and Uganda, two countries which Mr. Bush will visit. The General James Jones, who orders the American forces in Europe and which has Africa under its responsibility, declared himself, in the New York Times of Saturday, worried by the risk that "of vast zones without control and government do not become potential refuges" for terrorist activities. On the second chapter, that of the development aid, Mr. Bush has with his credit the plan of 15 billion dollars, over 5 years, intended for the fight against the AIDS to Africa and in the Caribbean. However, the vote of the corresponding appropriations by the Congress gives place to tight bargainings and makes suspect the executive of hypocrisy, the funds required for the fiscal year 2004 rising, for the moment, to 1,7 billion dollar, the 3 billion authorized by the law.
