Free Africa Foundation: Buying Freedom For Africa http://www.voltairenet.org/article164711.html

The Free Africa Foundation campaigns for African development and never passes up the opportunity to denounce World Bank and IMF policies.

At the time, it essentially consisted in going along with an unstoppable historical movement, deflecting it from any criticism of the predominant U.S. economic system.
