Obama wants good governance in Africa

Here's an article you might like to read at http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2009/07/11/obama-ghana.html called "Obama Urges good governance in Africa".

In his first visit to sub-Saharan Africa since taking office in January, U.S. President Barack Obama on Saturday encouraged people in Ghana and elsewhere on the continent to seize opportunities for peace, prosperity and good governance.

Obama deployed a riff on his presidential campaign slogan, saying "Yes, you can," as he urged young people to build a better society in a speech to Ghana's parliament.

"You have the power to make your leaders accountable and to build institutions that serve the people," he said. "You can serve in your communities and harness your energy and education to create new wealth and build new connections to the world."

Obama said good governance is the "the ingredient which has been missing in far too many places, for far too long."
