Tuesday Map: Clinton's Africa trip by country and message

Posted By Michael Wilkerson Tuesday, August 18, 2009 - 6:47 PM Share

The Christian Science Monitor put together this interesting look at the messages Hillary Clinton focused on in each of her stops on her African tour. It accompanies a useful stop-by-stop debrief of the trip by Tracey Samuelson.
 
 
Will any of the visited countries respond to Clinton's overtures? McClatchy's Shashank Bengali highlights that Kenya's government decided to ink a new $1.7 million contract with a U.S. PR firm to improve its image in the United States. Style, it seems, is substance.

Useful look - let's hope the tour does some good.

That's a nice graphical way of looking at Clinton's tour. I just hope her visit does some good.
