The bit that really angers myself is this bit: -

The UK has also committed £100m to the project at a conference in Zambia.


How about our government pump £100m into our own roads FFS? This whole Africa endless pit issue is annoying the feck out of me.

Besides that £100m is money that we don't have, it is either printed or further debt. Evil or Very Mad

The £100 mil is likely to have strings attached , the UK once 'gave' aid to an african nation and forced them to buy an airtraffic control system off us for a huge amount of money when they have no aircraft.


But hey look at it this way , 2011/2012 the African Expedition I am mulling it will be so much easier to cross Africa with that road in place Very Happy .
