AIDS, Pregnancy and Poverty Trap Ever More African Girls

PATRICE LUMUMBA, Mozambique - They met a year ago on the dirt road outside her aunt's house, in this struggling township where houses are built from bound-together reeds and the only water comes from wells. Flora Muchave was 14. Elario Novunga was 22, nicely dressed and, Flora said, full of promises.



Her parents are dead, probably from AIDS, so Flora Muchave, center, 16, has left school to look after her younger brother and her own son.

One stood out: Flora's family had been teetering on the edge of destitution since her father, a miner, died of AIDS in 2000. Elario said he would change that. "He asked me to have sex with him, and he guaranteed everything I would need," Flora recalled. "He said he would take care of everything for me."

He lied. Elario gave Flora the equivalent of about $4 and a baby, whose impending birth has forced her to drop out of sixth grade. Before Flora's mother died in May, apparently of AIDS, she forgave her daughter for ignoring her warnings about fast-talking men. But she sketched out a bleak future for her only daughter.

"Now," Flora recalled her sobbing from her deathbed, "you are going to suffer."



so what happened to the $15 BILLION dollars that the ass-monkey promised for aide to africa?

why is still this happening in 2005? hasn't almost thirty years of this disease been enough?

1. Bush cut off all family planning & birth control to women

in Africa. Falwell, Robertson, and Dobson told him to cut it off. Of course they own shares in African diamond mines and want all the cheap labor they can get.

3. What happened to the $15 Billion?

Ass-monkey made that promise to get Uncle Colin Powell to give his lying speech about Iraqi WMD's to the UN Security Council.

When Colin was done there was no need to follw through with the promise, besides if asked, ass-monkey will blame Congress.

The cokehead never had any intention of giving money to Africa, he and his PANAC buddies would prefer the population of the African continent to die out, the quicker the better.
