US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addresses a press conference on August 5, 2009, flanked by Kenyan Foreign Affairs Minister Moses Wetangula (R) on the sidelines of the 8th AGOA (Africa Growth Opportunities Act Forum) in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. The AGOA is a forum of some 40 African states that enjoy trade preferences in the giant US market on condition they uphold free elections and markets. Clinton will seek to build ties with three African powers-Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa- and show suport for three nations recovering from conflict-Angola, D.R. Congo and Liberia- and also make a stop-over in small U.S. ally, Cape Verde. AFP PHOTO/Tony KARUMBA (Photo credit should read TONY KARUMBA/AFP/Getty Images)
