Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice; it makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties, it doubts our concern, it questions our commitment. Because there's no way we can look at Africa - a continent bursting into flames - and, if we're honest, conclude that it would ever be allowed to happen anywhere else. Anywhere else. Certainly not here. In Europe. Or America. Or Australia, or Canada. There's just no chance - Bono at the 2004 UK Labour Party Conference http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/3699234.stm
Many rich countries agreed to give 0.7% of their Gross National Income in aid to poor countries for development. However, average aid delivered each year has, reportedly, actually been between 0.2-0.4%, meaning that the aid shortfall has now reached $3.6 trillion, greater than aid given.
