Clinton ends Africa trip

US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was wrapping up an 11-day tour of Africa in Cape Verde, praising the island nation for democratic reforms and sound financial policy.

Cape Verde, a former Portuguese colony off the coast of West Africa, is the last stop on Clinton's seven-nation trip that began in Kenya last week. She also visited South Africa, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria and Liberia.
