What will NOT be discussed by politicians during the G8 Summit?
[28]The momentum is building ahead of next month’s G8 summit in Scotland where the leaders of the world’s richest nations will debate what they can do to help some of the world’s poorest. Africa is the priority and the politicians will discuss reducing the debt burden, ending trade regulations which put the continent’s economy at a disadvantage, and giving more aid. Mark Doyle, who’s reported from Africa for many years, looks at why aid is necessary, and why much of what’s been donated in the past has not worked. All around the edge of Africa—along the coastline, near the continents’ ports—[29]are monuments to exploitation. On the island of Goree, for example, just off the coast of Senegal, there’s the Slave House. [30]This was the last place many Africans saw before being shipped off to a lifetime of slavery in the Americas or, just as often, to death on the high seas. [29]There are many more places like this dating from the three hundred and fifty years or so of the African slave trade. When people wonder why Africa is SO poor, they need look no further for the start of an explanation. The end of the slavery was followed by a century of colonialism. Some people argue that colonialism brought limited development—railways and schools and so on—[29]the system was principally designed to turn Africa into a vast plantation and mining site for the profit of outsides.
