Bush was very generous with food aid to Africa, for example, which won him a lot of support there.
- adventured 10y agoBush did more for Africa than any other world leader in history. There isn't a close second to that. The aid went far beyond just food as well: "When the Bush administration inaugurated the program [PEPFAR] in 2003, fewer than 50,000 HIV-infected people on the African continent were receiving the antiretroviral drugs that keep the virus in check and halt the progression toward full-blown AIDS. By the time Bush left office, the number had increased to nearly 2 million. Today, the United States is directly supporting antiretroviral treatment for more than 4 million men, women and children worldwide, primarily in Africa." http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/04/george-w-bushs-legacy-on-africa-wins-praise-even-from-foes/ http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/04/george-w-bushs-... https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/eugene-robinson-george-w-bushs-greatest-legacy--his-battle-against-aids/2012/07/26/gJQAumGKCX_story.html?utm_term=.363cbe2d825b https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/eugene-robinson-geor...
