U.S. President Barack Obama ended his East Africa trip Tuesday with a speech to the African Union. He spoke in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Mr. Obama called for change, especially among Africa’s many long-serving leaders. He said when leaders try to change the rules in order to stay in office it can lead to strife, noting the situation in Burundi.
The president also said Africa has changed from a poor and dependent continent to one of hope and progress.
