Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is arriving in Africa on Tuesday. The stops on her official tour include Kenya,  South Africa, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Nigeria.

Clinton´s trip comes just three weeks after President Obama made his first presidential visit to Africa, saying that the continent will be a priority for his administration.  Clinton will discuss trade, development and gender violence with African leaders but critics say that the militarization of Africa and the exploitation of its resources should take center stage.  FSRN´s Karen Miller has more.
