Hamjatta, I hope that Blair will find time to read through the pleas submitted by Jubilee 2000 and many thousands of concerned citizens of GB and, indeed,the world. He seems to be exceedingly embroiled and entangled with Mugabe these days when Britain's leadership on the debt is most needed. Convincing Japan to include it in the agenda of the G-7 summit will be difficult without the assurance from US and western Europeans to increase Japan's quota in the IMF; the seemingly inevitable change in political leadership in Japan, as a result of the medical condition of the Japanese PM, may further add to the woes of the debts campaigners. I thank you, meanwhile, for posting very relevant articles from the British press. sidi sanneh ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
