Obama Visits Kenya and Ethiopia in First for U.S. Sitting President

HeadlineJul 27, 2015

The attack came as President Obama departed Kenya and arrived in Ethiopia Sunday for talks on counterterrorism efforts against al-Shabab. Obama is the first sitting U.S. president to visit either Ethiopia or Kenya — his father’s home country. On Tuesday, he will also become the first sitting U.S. president to address the African Union. We’ll have more on the historic visit later in the broadcast.
