GHANA: Can Obama match past presidential promises?

ACCRA, 8 July 2009 (IRIN): As Ghanaians gear up for US President Barack Obamas arrival on 10 July – his first official visit to sub-Saharan Africa – they are mixing high hopes with caution.

Obama is scheduled to make a major policy statement, Deputy Information Minister Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa told IRIN, but the details have not yet been made public.

Ghana has become a key African partner of the USA, and is the fourth largest non-oil producing purchaser of US exports in sub-Saharan Africa, according to the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
