Lethargy: A dying continent
by Miyere Ole Miyandazi

One thing that still utterly surprises me is that despite Africans being the most afflicted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, individuals, pharmaceutical companies and organizations that gain through Aids donations are unwilling to solve the problem.

By Miyere ole Miyandazi & Ngunyi Wambugu

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an organization of 184 countries, that claims to work towards the fostering of global monetary cooperation, securing financial stability, facilitating international trade, promoting high employment and sustainable economic growth, and reducing poverty.
