it will make a small difference, but better that than do nothing at all.

Our NHS on its knees, cuts to benefits affecting numerous people in the UK, food banks needing to feed our poor people, police service cut to the quick, social welfare for the elderly in crisis and we can still spare £100m for what essentially is a problem for Africa? I dont think so.
Africa as a whole has many wealthy nations, Nigeria (gas and oil), Algeria (gas and oil) South Africa (gold and diamonds). Our own population's needs come first surely.

the real difference would have been if they hadnt had a civil war
which wrecked an impoverished country.....

Are people aware that what passes for a government in South Sudan is charging 10,000 US dollars for each aid worker who turns up to help?
