Africa's problems are never going to be solved by some silly concert. Until its people rise above tribalism and embrace democracy it will remain the most backward of continents.

There is little point in forgiving debts, giving food aid or providing any other support as this only serves to enrich the already rich leaders and does nothing for the truly poor and needy.

Look at Zimbabwe...

Without the aid of the big international banks,,a lot of it couldn't happen. They know who gets the money and where it goes. This is really a bailout of the banks,, including the World Bank, who are just as currupt as the politicians.
They should hang along with them.
