Poor poor Africa.

A continent riddled with poverty, a continent engulfed with HIV. - Please donate million, no billions of money, every year after year after year after year after year -   This money can be used to buy weapons and feed the corruption of governments. Money used for wrong purposes and food stolen by soldiers. Soldiers training kids to fight. Destroy infrastructure and destroy civilization. Sell diamond, make money, buy weapon. Britain is the world's second biggest arms dealer after the United States, with sales worth more than €4.2billion. Two bullets are produced every minute for every man, woman and child on the planet. Every minute, someone in the world is killed by conventional weapons. A third of countries spend more on their military than they do on health. The UK, US and France earn more from arms sales from developing countries than they give aid. There are 639million small arms in the world - one fo every 10 people - and eight million more are produced every year. A pistol can be bought for the price of half a pint of lager - €2.20 - in the markets of Uganda. As Africa has diamonds it is in the best interest of the greedy rich to keep them poor. The corrupt governments in Africa are not helping poverty either. Europe, America and the rest of the world - Stop selling guns to Africa! Africa - Start looking after your people! Bono - Relax and make music!

'The U.S. treasury secretary and rock star Bono are on a four nation African tour to call attention to the continent's distressing problems. Dubbed the "odd couple" of international aid, the pair are looking to ensure that aid money is being spent in the most effective way.'
