I stand to be argued on this view that democracy still has a long way before it is accepted by the crop of leaders we have.The problem is not Aids, Malaria, water or Laws, it is the ability to transform these promises into actual realities on the rich parts of the world. but they instead seem on one hand, to be giving genuine assistance while on the other, making aliances with these african leaders.aliances which often bring africa back to zero year in year out.no matter the compaign work done. a long time saying is:"if you want to hide anything from an african,put it in writing.a book perhaps". the problem is the leadership qualities and styles and relations with rich nations.

Very honestly, we are going to have to GET MORE INVOLVED in our advocacy if we are going to see the progress that has been made in some of the world's poorest areas continue. In this world economic crisis, it will be harder to get the government of the richer nations to fulfill their promises to the poorest nations - unless we INCREASE OUR VOICES on their behalf. I hope that we do. ALWAYS FOREVER, ONE - debbie www.myspace.com/mulago Thanks Mikiko for this information – I hope that all of us ONE members will keep this info for our future use in our advocacy for the world’s poorest people.
