Sadly, Africa is more fucked now than it was a hundred years ago when the land grab began. The famine and AIDS is a DELIBERATE act of genocide of an entire race, hated by the West, because they have all the real wealth, land, gold, oil, diamonds and natural resources. If left to their own devices, Africans would be richer than the all the World Bankers combined.
This Summit is a fraud and yet another opportunity to buy more time, by setting goals, suppossed to take effect in another ten years. But of course, that will be too late for millions, who must accept the World Bank's conditions and Monsanto's GMO's or die!
Because....
