ACCRA, Ghana - In a country teeming with resources the world covets, President Bush sought yesterday to soothe African fears about American interests on the continent. He said the United States isn't aiming to make Africa into a base for greater military power or a proxy battleground with China.
Jennifer Cooke, an authority on Africa for the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said Bush's altered approach to foreign aid is in part a counterargument to China's formidable presence.
