Food for a genuine pro-poor thought (7)
--------------------------------------

Dear Collegues,

The problems that we are facing Africa will for a long time see the continent being poor no matter how good or innovative nations and organisations can be in coming up with interventions to reduce poverty. Just imagine if we asked Africa to stop borrowing today and pave way for a debt free Africa How much will Africa have to pay for the long term loans that it has been getting from its 'Cooperating' partners?

The thing is Africa is caught up in a situation where its leaders are borrowing with one hand and paying the money out with the other in a bid to be financially solvent without focusing on the long-term effects of such debts on their prospective grand children.
