Bush heads for Tanzania after brief trip to Benin

US President George W. Bush headed to Tanzania on Saturday after spending a few hours in Benin on the first leg of a five-country week-long African tour.
While in Cotonou Bush had talks with Benin's President Boni Yayi and appealed for an end to violence and a power-sharing agreement in Kenya.
Bush, looking to polish a legacy tarnished by the Iraq war, was also to travel to Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana and Liberia on what was expected to be his final trip to the continent before leaving office in January 2009.
