    Most of the debt was paid over in interest -- its not like money were "lost" completely. Moreover significant part of the debt occured due to export of weapons to these countries, local manufacturers got paid by the Govt to ship all sort of military gear to Afrika.

    Depends whether the sort of Poverty you're talking about is the 'can't afford a scratch card and fags tonight' kind or the 'dying from a dose of the sh1ts for the sake of a 50p rehydration pack' kind I suppose.

    Africa, Africa, Africa - What about the UK?

    Am I the only person sick to the back teeth of hearing about the G8 summit and Live8 concert? Shouldn't our government be trying to eradicate poverty and sorting out the problems in Britian before spending much time and money on Africa?
