<< Jabou,

 This is a start since questions are raised as to the morality of  the debt
 owed by the third world countries. And whether the cancellation should have
 any conditions attached to it or shall i say strings attached to it.  I hope
 this will be another way of
 addressing the extreme poverty and mismagement in the Thirdworld and Africa
 in particular.

l  agree ndey, but l am not very optimistic that the leaders in these
countries will actually direct these funds towards the effort  to alleviate
poverty in their respective nations, much less show evidence of this.Poor
people  will  never see  this money since in most cases, it has laready been
squandered on  things  that have no relevance  to them at all, and  these
same governments  are at this very instance clamouring to borrow even more
money to spend  on mostly themselves and their corrupt  collaborators.
