Re: G7 Africa Debt Wipe Out

It's all well and good trying to boycott nescafe. Many midwives have tried it over the years, due to Nestle's appalling behaviour regarding baby milk to the third world. Nestle make everything from coffee to breakfast cereal, buiscuits, drinks, sweets and other household products. Many products which bear another manufacturing name are often part of Nestle, so a total boycott is nigh on impossible. As for Africa, what is the point in wiping out all their debt when their bent governments would simply run up another one at their people's expense.
