La pobreza tiene causas políticas y económicas y no constituye un estado natural de las cosas, por lo tanto es modificable.

Sencillamente, estamos desilusionados con el resultado de Gleneagles. Las resoluciones no colmaron para nada nuestras esperanzas por una estrategia integral y radical que dejara a la pobreza de África en el pasado. La Cumbre simplemente reafirmó las decisiones existentes sobre la condonación de la deuda y la duplicación de la ayuda.
