Liberian president in Benin

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia is here visiting President Yayi Boni of Benin. Yesterday one of her sons came to the Africa Mercy. Today I saw her high-spead convoy heading towards the airport, surrounding by Beninoise police and army, past Liberia and Benin flags hanging from the street lights. Its a pity she couldn't find the time to visit us on the ship. Photo of both presidents on Boni's visit to Liberia in 2007. Olly
