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. Pictures of the month July 2003 REUTERS/Kevin
