WBR: African leaders gather for a major summit¹ in Washington, DC

Mon, 4 Aug 14

We ask what US President Barack Obama can actually do for Africa's economies. And from Liberia we hear how much still needs to be done to meet basic infrastructure² needs, such as electricity, in many parts of Africa.
