Dear Peter Burgess,

Your recent posting on the above subject matter contained the
following statement: "Alpha Oumar Konare, former president of
Mali and now chairman of the AU (African Union) Commission,
painted a grim picture of an African continent gripped by
HIV/AIDS, malaria, and malnutrition and let down by donors who
failed to live up to their pledges."

My question is: Who "lets down" Africa more, corrupt political
leaders and public service managers who steal massive funds from
Africa for deposit in donor countries or donors who "fail to
live up to their pledges" of bogus aid?
