I read that Soros has a tie in to Uganda somehow, too, but I don’t have the lead handy.
All Africa.com:
Jeffrey Sachs, the economist, and George Soros, the billionaire investor, outlined the new phase of the initiative at UN headquarters in New York.
The Millennium Villages scheme, launched five years ago, “has made tremendous breakthroughs in achieving the Millennium Development Goals in places that were written off as hopeless,” Mr Sachs told reporters.
He cited dramatic advances in maize yields, use of anti-malaria bed nets, and prevention of stunting among children in many of the original 10 Millennium Villages, two of which are in Kenya, with one each in Tanzania and Uganda.
Additional cash
Mr Soros said he is giving $27.4 million to help finance the expansion of the Millennium Villages. He is also making available $20 million in loans to support businesses in the villages. Mr Soros previously donated $50 million to the initiative.
That earlier gift was made despite strong opposition on the part of the board of directors of Mr Soros’ charitable foundation, he pointed out.
Some researchers say that claims made for the success of the project are overblown.
.................
Looks like Kenya and Tanzania might be on Zero’s list too.
Soros apparently has made it clear he doesn’t want his project to fail. OIL baby!!!
