Africans expected more from Obama

Description

Barack Obama has won his second term in the White House, but reactions in Kenya, the country of his father's birth, have been much more low-key than in 2008. Meanwhile, in Ivory Coast, artists are touring the country with the hope that music may help reconcile the differences of a divided nation. Finally, Cameroon's president Paul Biya is marking 30 years in power, but the opposition accuses him of suppressing criticism while failing to improve living conditions.
