just read the link from magoonas journal... must have been a 'slow news day'. the u.n has been appealing since november?! but gets no attention until there is nothing better to report :( annoys me too... maybe its to prove what a failure the g8 summit was even though everyone from geldof to bush is claiming it a breakthrough and great success in terms of debt relief and aid meh... trade laws will still hold africa slaves to the west untill people stand up and make themselves heard over such corruption
