G8

The terrorist bombings in London have tended to overshadow the outcome of the G8 summit and its effect for Africa.

But we need not fear, the problems of Africa have been solved. One can do no more than to quote Tony Blair:

‘It is not the end of poverty in Africa, but it is the hope that it can be ended...If we implement this plan it will make poverty history and we will save millions of lives.’

So there we have it. Poverty is in the process of being abolished. G8 have approved a plan to that effect.

It is a very great pity that Zimbabwe was not mentioned, or pressure applied to neighbouring countries either to stop supporting Mugabe or to stop sending asylum seekers to the UK. If these countries want our money then they should at least have the integrity to house Africa’s own asylum seekers.
