Obama Exhorts Africans to Fight Corruption, Embrace Democracy

President Barack Obama speaks to the Ghana Parliament in Accra on Saturday.

ACCRA, Ghana -- The first African-American president came to the continent of his father to exhort Africans on Saturday to rid themselves of corruption, embrace democracy and move from the grand, often violent, struggles of liberation and tribalism to the quieter, more potent movement of stability and economic growth.

In a half-hour speech described as a major foreign policy address, U.S. President Barack Obama stood before Ghana's boisterous parliament, with a backdrop of festive kente cloth and adoring crowds cheering outside. The speech was broadcast on radio stations throughout the continent.

"In my country, African-Americans, including so many recent immigrants, have thrived in every sector of society.

With strong institutions and a strong will, I know that Africans can live their dreams in Nairobi and Lagos; in Kigali and Kinshasa; in Harare and right here in Accra," he said. "It won't be easy. It will take time and effort. There will be suffering and setbacks. But I can promise you this: America will be with you, as a partner, as a friend." ...............Read full article
