African Debt Relief

Re “Debt Relief,” editorial, April 14: There has been unconscionable resistance to relieving the African nations of their debt, especially when many other less-deserving countries have been forgiven. Africa has suffered destruction of great civilizations due to multiple invasions by European and Arab savages. The ensuing African holocaust, including the slavery holocaust, is estimated at approximately 200 million.

African history has been distorted, subverted, hidden and blatantly misconstrued. The Times could perform a tremendous service to all mankind by doing a special report on the true history of Africa.
