Why Darfur Matters

Why has the G8 defaulted?
(Mail & Guardian: 30 October 2006 08:10)


{The United Nations' special envoy for HIV and Aids in Africa accused the world's wealthiest countries on Sunday of failing to deliver on promises to increase aid to the most impoverished continent.”

"Where is the G8 money ? Where is the promise?... The world is running out of patience. Why has the G8 defaulted?" Stephen Lewis told reporters in Malawi.


"I cannot understand why programmes in Africa are not being funded when in 2005 the G8 promised to double its funding to $25-billion by 2010," he said on the first day of a three-day visit to Malawi.}


G8 funding was based upon Africa undertaking serious steps toward fiscal responsibility and corruption reform. (not mentioned in the article of course)
Africa has made little effort in this regard and has not been able to show any moves towards positive reform measures.
The UN should first address ITS FAILURE TO STOP THE GENOCIDE in Africa. Remember Rawanda? Ever heard of Darfur?
Koffi Annan and his Oil for Food scheme ring a bell?
The UN lacks the credibility to chide anyone.

Over the course of the past six months I have been in negotiations with an African non-government organization here in the New York City area.


The group is fast to claim that they represent “The New Africa!” In actuality they are “The Old Africa!” just attempting to hide the corruption and scams better.


They are indeed advised by an extremely shady character that works for the City of New York and is working to have the UN recognize their business promotion group as an official NGO of the UN.


So yet again, the failure, corruption, and genocide of Africa and UN failure is somehow the fault of the G8.


Stephen Lewis said: “The world is running out of patience,” well Mr. Lewis the G8 and developed world ran out of patience a long time ago with throwing money into the sewer pit, enough said.
