Bush backs power-sharing deal to halt Kenyan violence

US President George Bush insisted today his administration is actively engaged in resolving turmoil in Africa, but said his trip to the continent is focused more on its successes than its conflicts.

“When you herald success, it helps others realise what is possible,” the president said in Benin on the first stop of a five-nation tour. “This is a large place with a lot of nations and no question not everything is perfect. On the other hand, there are a lot of great success stories and the US is pleased to be involved with those success stories.”
