From Al Jazeera:
Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, has arrived in Kenya as part of an African tour to push her government's commitment to tackling the continent's trouble spots.
The seven-nation trip comes three weeks after Barack Obama, the US president, visited Ghana in an effort to bolster ties with the nation.
Clinton kicked off her 11-day tour from Kenya, which is struggling to overcome political and tribal divisions exposed in post-election violence in early 2008.
She is due to address an African trade and development forum comprising 40 states and meet top Kenyan officials in talks beginning on Wednesday.

*Overheard in the Clinton residence at dinner*
H: So what'd you do today?
B: You know…Used my juice as a former president to save some imprisoned journalists from North Korea. You?
H: Went to Kenya. Trying to help out a continent of people in trouble. Africa's important and they really need our help, you know?
B: Yeah, somebody texted me about that. I was busy doing a press conference about saving those women from twelve years in prison camp. Sometimes, as a former president, you have to lend a hand, you know?
