Bush urges Kenya power-sharing

At the start of his tour of Africa, President Bush has urged an end to violence in Kenya.

He said his Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, would underline that message in her upcoming visit there.

But speaking in Benin, the first stop on his tour, Mr Bush said Africa's many conflicts were not the main focus of his visit. He said he wanted to highlight success stories.

Correspondents say the tour is being seen as an attempt by Mr Bush to emphasise the positive aspects of his foreign policy legacy.
