Obama Visits Kenya and Ethiopia in First for U.S. Sitting President 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The attack came as President Obama departed Kenya and arrived in
Ethiopia Sunday for talks on counterterrorism efforts against al-Shabab.
Obama is the first sitting U.S. president to visit either Ethiopia or
Kenya — his father's home country. On Tuesday, he will also become
the first sitting U.S. president to address the African Union. We'll
have more on the historic visit later in the broadcast.
