Altho' no one said so openly, how many of the G8 decision makers
thought:
global food price increases ...hardship for poor societies...
...eg. for sub-saharan-africa...why can't they feed themselves, or
even produce surplus food to benefit from the increased prices ?
....did they EVER produce surplus food ?
YES ! eg. Rhodesia/Zimbabwe [and south africa under white rule]
produced and exported food surplusses.
So what happened ?
What ALWAYS happens in africa: the [genetic-sub-saharan] africans
[which by definition, includes eg. Haitians] have to mess it up.
Will they ever learn ?
Probably not, but in the absence of some yet to be discovered magic,
we'll just continue to apply the stick and carrot.
-----------
Perhaps the OPENLY STATED, unambigious G8 message should be:
"aid to africa will be strongly tied to their progress towards civilised
behaviour. So, their support for Zimbabwe's behaviour will result in a
reduction of aid/charity"
OTOH, since the knowledge and warning of HIV's mechanism has been
made known to them for over 20 years, without being much heeded,
we may need to await the magic solution ?
