President Barack Obama says conflict is too familiar in much of Africa and in some places is "as constant as the sun."
Obama on Saturday told Ghana's Parliament that fighting is a part of life for too many on the African continent. He also said leaders without conscience can manipulate infighting among religious groups and tribes.
Obama says such instability is "a millstone around Africa's neck" and residents must stand up against inhumanity and for the children in Darfur.
Obama is calling children fighting in wars a "death sentence of a society."
