Nairobi — Global health leaders, private sector partners and key government officials from different parts of the globe have made a joint call for increased funding and support from the Global Fund to African countries.
Speaking during a high level session hosted by Friends Africa, (an advocacy initiative aimed at mobilising political and financial support to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria) at the recently concluded International AIDS Conference in Washington DC, the participants called on donor countries to increase their support and commitment to the success of the Global Fund.
Prominent development expert Professor Jeffrey Sachs who chaired a session discussing what the Global Fund means to Africans called on donor countries to be committed and honest in supporting the fight against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria through the Global Fund.
"We are all Africans, we are all in this together," he said.
He however challenged the African countries to be clear and specific on what areas they need support from the development partners.
The Global Fund is the largest multi-lateral financing agency for the fight against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Global Fund Deputy Executive Director Debrework Zewdie called on African governments to stand up in support of the Global Fund, because without their support, the Global Fund would not achieve much.
At a different session on 'Gift from Africa', speakers called on the private sector in the continent to be actively involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS by supporting the Global Fund programs in Africa.
Also, at the two sessions, Friends Africa launched two flagship publications titled: What the Global Fund means to Africans and Innovative Approaches to fighting HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria: A Partnership between the Global Fund and the African Private sector.
The two publications are part of Friends Africa's documentation series aimed at documenting success stories in the fight against AIDS, TB and Malaria in Africa.

Dear Africans, What continent has the richest resources combined with some of the best weather on Earth ? Have you heard of African Slave Robbing ? What about those slick so-called missionaries, who invited the poll taxers (who had the nerve to tax & rob Africans of their own land ? Have you heard of the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 AND The Brussels Conference of 1889-1890 ? Did you know that during these Tw0(2) conferences a) Plans were initiated, drawn up and b) Put into effect to AID 16 nations in robbing Africa. Finally did you know that all of these activities were already foretold ? [Daniel 11:14 ] And in those times there shall many nations come against the king of the south (Great Britain BABYLON ): ALSO the ROBBERS OF ISRAEL shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; BUT THE ROBBERS OF ISRAEL SHALL FALL !
And just in case some are confused as to who is ISRAEL, it was also foretold that some would pretend to be ISRAEL : [ Revelations 2:9 ] I know your works, tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Who is the real ISRAEL ? Here's a clue : It was foretold thousands of years ago what ISRAEL would go through (If ISRAEL ) kept being evil:
[ Deuteronomy 28:68 ] And the Lord shall bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I spoke to you, You shall see it no more again: and there you shall be sold to your enemies as slaves, and no man shall set you free.
The key phrases in Deuteronomy 28:28 are: a) Bring you into Egypt again with ships b) You shall be sold as slaves
Isn't the answer obvious ? Black Africans are the main part of ISRAEL. Finally: 1) Why would such a rich in resources continent such as Africa want to seek AID from our ROBBERS & ENEMIES ? 2) Why has Africa ignored its exiled people in Britain, South America, The Islands & The U.S. ?
African People are Africa's greatest resource !!!
