Extractions: The National Police were under the direction of the Ministry of Interior and Public Security, while the military forces, the National Gendarmerie, and the Presidential Security Unit (USP) were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense; all shared responsibility for internal security. Civilian authorities did not maintain effective control of the security forces. Apart from the USP, the military, much of which mutinied in 1996 and 1997, widely was perceived to be of doubtful loyalty to the Government, which owes approximately 21 months of salary arrears to the military. Former members of the security forces were involved in the October 25 and May 2001 coup attempts. Members of the security forces committed serious human rights abuses. The economy of the country, which has a population of approximately 3.5 million, was dominated by subsistence agriculture. Foreign assistance was an important source of national income. Salary arrears owed to civilian employees and the military continued to impair the functioning of the Government and the ability of the state to enforce the rule of law. The misappropriation of public funds and corruption in the government remained widespread. The large displacement of persons during and following the October 25 coup attempt adversely affected economic productivity during the year.

Extractions: On the eve of the 27-29 June G-8 meeting in Canada, UN Special Envoy for AIDS to Africa Stephen Lewis noted that AIDS is now "the dominant force in African development." He noted NEPAD itself states that Africa's development goals are an "impossible hope" until it has turned the pandemic around. The G-8 and the Bush Administration say they are committed to defeating this global scourge. But are sufficient donor - especially USA - resources, structures and policies in place to do so? (see our article on the Bush Administration on page 6). And is the growing militarization of USA foreign policy in order to fight terrorism diverting resources essential to waging an equally vital war - that against AIDS? Winning Africa's war against AIDS and ensuring sustainable development will require investing in economic, social and health infrastructure rather than in weapons systems. Retired admiral Jack Shanahan (not well-known as a dove) remarks that "militarizing foreign policy is totally inappropriate for a democracy purporting to set an example in the post Cold War era." He observes that the USA military spends $396.2 billion annually for national defense - that's $1.08 billion per day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
