Partly true. It is an atempt to get the G8 group to send more aid, the goal is the same, more money/food going to Africa. Shame they don't seem to realise it is just going to get absorbed into corruption and not reach the people who need it.
Africa has been getting more and more aid and is currently receiving more foreign aid than it ever has in the past yet it's people live in the worst conditions they have ever experienced. Sending more money and food to Africa is NOT the solution, at least not until you have done something about the corruption. -- Jay > -----Original Message----- > From: Wayne Putterill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 31 May 2005 22:38 > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Live 8 concerts > > It's political this time, not for money. > > On 5/31/05, Sam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What a shame, all that money wasted again.
