US Senator Barack Obama leaves today for a 15 day trip to Africa. He plans to travel to five countries, among them Kenya, the birthplace of his father and Sudan or Chad, the site of one of the most devastating human rights crises in the world. He’ll be traveling with his wife, his two daughters, and will be meeting up with his grandmother, Mama Sarah Obama.
