"...yesterday, World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz said he wants to ensure that a doubling in aid promised to Africa last year by the G-8 nations will make a difference.
"I can tell the leaders I will be meeting in St. Petersburg that I have seen African countries that work," he said in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, which has flourished through years of peace and stability."
Average yearly income in Tanzania? $700. The country has a low unemployment rate because of the need for mine workers necessary to keep the gold jewelry shipments to India afloat, as well as the rhinocerous horn orders to Japan. President Jakaya Kikwete never refuses a bribe, so it's a certainty that G-8 "aid" will really make a difference. If you need gold jewelry or rhinocerous horns.
MERC ALERT: Lots of work "defending" the border with Malawi. Free-fire zone with approved hard solutions.
