Bush plans to double African aid

Mr Bush said the US would double assistance to the region by 2010, but stressed trade and good government were as important as financial aid.

Yes.

He said the "primary focus" would be on "reforming countries".

Good.

African leaders, he said, must be the "agents of reform" rather than "passive recipients of money".

Exactly.
