Wilson also made a trip to Niger in 1999. The details are sketchy (reason for the trip was redacted from the report) and I have not been able to find the exact date.
It may not have been at the time he was in Africa here, but we do know he was in Africa in early 1999 attending a state dinner- unfortunately I can't find my copy of the web page in question any more:
1999 early : (VALERIE AND JOE WILSON ATTEND AFRICAN STATE DINNER) Ha! Wilson and his wife showed up at a big African State dinner in 1999, as shown on this guest list published in "Africa Today." Click here and scroll down...guest list is alphabetical, and wife is listed as "Valerie Wilson" Wilson is listed as the President of Wilson International Ventures, and this dinner took place in early 1999.
