BILL CLINTON URGES MEDIA TO DO MORE TO FIGHT HIV/AIDS;
DEADLY MARBURG FEVER IN ANGOLA; AND
ANOTHER CRITICAL MOMENT
IN COTE D'IVOIRE
 Former
US President, Bill Clinton, recalls a recent visit
to Nigeria where he joined President Olusegun
Obasanjo in a televised event to help victims
of the disease:
"President Obasanjo
called Mrs. Ebekwa up on the stage and embraced
her on national television. Again, at the time,
it was a virtually revolutionary thing for a political
leader in Africa to do, to show he wasn't afraid
to embrace an HIV-positive woman."
