Jubliee Scotland Event - TONIGHT
‘Africa: Charity or Justice?’
As part of the Edinburgh World Justice Festival <http://www.ewjf.org.uk/> Jubliee Scotland are hosting a public debate with inputs from speakers around the world to discuss:
The food crisis; the credit crunch; the boom in metal prices; the “China Effect”. Are these wiping out the benefits of aid and debt relief? And does Africa need charity - or justice?
7:00pm - 8:50pm, Thursday 26th June.
Augustine United Church, 41 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh
