    "This is the change that can unlock Africa's potential. And that is a responsibility that can only be met by Africans," Obama called for good governance by Africa leaders.

    On opportunity, Obama said deployment provides opportunity for more people.

    "With better governance, I have no doubt that Africa hold the promise of a broader case for prosperity. The continent is rich in natural resources. And from cell phone entrepreneurs to small farmers, Africans have shown the capacity and commitment to creating their own opportunities."

Big problems.  Big solutions.  But the solutions come from inside the problem.  Not outside.
