Ghana in west Africa

will be president Obama's

first visit as president to

Africa outside the Arab

nations.

U.S. President Barack Obama is going to Ghana after stops in Russia and Italy

"We are the first country to show maturity in elections because all other countries, after or before elections, there are fights and all this misunderstanding," she said. "But we comport ourselves and go accordingly on the electoral procedure."


Her colleague says Mr. Obama's visit will help focus attention on Ghana's stability.

"It is good that President Obama is coming to Ghana so that some African countries can say, 'Yes," he said. "A black American is the president.' And moreover, what we need from him is, he will bring more investors. More investors so our youths will get jobs to do, and our country will become a first-class country like theirs."
