Hi folks - long time listener, first time caller. These two snippets
might be of interest.
Interesting R4 story about failures in the provision of aid to Niger
(mp3 copy available on the website). In a nutshell:
There has been criticism that by then children in Niger were already
in the final months of a year of gradual starvation. Niger's Prime
Minister Hama Amadou told File On 4 the responsibility for the late
responses rested entirely with the donors. "I would like to say in a
clear but firm manner that Niger was not helped as it should be by
the international community.
"Niger is a country that expressed its needs but was not sufficiently helped."
