"this is a very modest step forward which is being spun as a colossal leap"
P. Watt of Action Aid
"President Bush's pledge today will mean an extra nine hundred million dollars each year for Africa and this is a welcome first step. Hoewver it is widely calculated that $25 billion is needed annually for Africa so we hope the announcement today is just the beginning of a much bigger US commitment to fighting poverty." - Oxfam


the USA will double its aid to Africa in the next five years to those states which are "reforming" on the basis of trade and support the "war on malaria".
It will not cancel debt, it will not cancel US drug patents, it will not increase US corporation tax donations on african mining or commidities. read full story / add a comment

D’ Bitchin kitchin needs your help…
Those of you traveling to the g8 in Scotland may be aware that the second largest kitchen crew will be traveling over from Ireland. However bureaucratic nonsense has made it impossible for the original bitchin kitchin mini bus to travel, and now today mechanical problems have left the back up vehicle in a similar position.
So can you help? Do you (or someone you know) have a suitable vehicle? The kitchen crew is already on the road so its just equipment cookers, pots plates…
This equipment is desperately needed
