President Obama has arrived in Senegal at the start of his week long trip to Africa. He has controversially raised the issue of gay rights by urging African countries to decriminalize homosexuality, which is a crime in 38 African countries. He hinted at withdrawing aid is this issue was not addressed.

He is due to visit South Africa this weekend, but the visit is in doubt at this stage as he considers the nation's concern for Nelson Mandela.
