It said it would triple food aid to 4.6 million euros ($5.6 million) this year for Niger,

That's the total of their wine profit for the year. They will be giving the aid in euros because it is only the French buying the wine.

Wasn't there a Drudge headline recently where it stated something to the tune of "220bn has been seized by corrupt Nigerian leaders over the past 40 years...which is equal to the entire sum spent on Africa by the United Kingdom in the past 40 years". So I guess what France is saying, that as a corrupt country themselve, they must assist other corrupt countries.../rolls eyes
