Inside Story - Israel seeks new freinds in Africa - Sep 3 09

  • 12 years ago
Avigdor Lieberman, the Israeli foreign minister, visits sub-Saharan Africa for the first time in more than 20 years.

After his somewhat modest performance in other parts of the world, he seems desperate to promote his country's interests in Africa.

Lieberman says the tour is aimed at developing economic ties and countering Iran's growing influence.
