from SLATE: >All papers front the announcement by the G7 that it intends to relieve the world's poorest nations of about half of their debt, totaling $65-$70 billion dollars, provided they steer the savings to education and health programs, particularly AIDS prevention. The G7 countries, at a summit meeting to discuss the war in Kosovo and relations with Russia, said up to 70 percent of the debt, or $90 billion, could be relieved if other nations pitch in. < Any comments? does anybody know more about this Jubilee 2000 than the official media are reporting?
