Madam, - An African government (Zambia's), which has regularly since the 1990s been changed through elections, decides to take proceedings against a former head of state for corruption (would it happen here?). And John O'Shea argues that all direct government aid should be cancelled.
One might conclude that Mr O'Shea is now so blindly prejudiced against African governments that even when they do something right his Pavlovian reaction is one of condemnation. This is not the basis for a rational evaluation of events.
- Yours, etc,
