U.S. President George Bush emphasized here on Sunday the urgency of providing aid for Africa. He called wealthy nations to provide mosquito nets to prevent children dying from mosquito bites. He said, “I’m concerned about people going hungry. We’ll be very constructive in the dialogue about the environment – I care about the environment – but today there’s too much suffering in the continent of Africa.”
Three years ago aid to Africa was centerpiece of the submit in Scotland. It was called to increase aids to US$50 billion a year through 2010 of which half to reach to Africa. Also to cancel debt of heavily indebted poor nations.
