UN CHIEF
RESPONDS TO CRITICISM THAT HE'S NOT DOING ENOUGH FOR
AFRICA
In this second edition, we ask the UN
Secretary-General Kofi Annan about criticism that he
is doing too little to help African countries.
 Mr
Annan says:"Look at the famine situation
in Southern Africa, who was there to feed the people
and to help? The peacekeeping operations …, isn't
it the UN?

would the leaders do then?"

great progress economically but African nations continue
to perform badly? Plus, his personal campaign in the
fight against HIV and AIDS.
