U.S. President George W. Bush holds the hand of Senegal President
Abdoulaye Wadeas, as they look out to sea from the departure portal of
The Slave House, on Goree Island in Senegal, July 8, 2003. Goree Island
was a slave trade depot for millions of Africans between the 16th and
18th centuries. Bush flew to Africa Tuesday with promises of aid and a
message of hope, but his five-nation trip was likely to be overshadowed
by the conflicts besetting the continent. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque
