Thus, when they are -70- in foreign accounts, then the people will receive no -71- at all. 

It is through such economic -72- that many African governments have succeeded in -73- their countries’ economies. There can, therefore, be no solution to the debt -74- in Africa; nor can we hope for any -75- from our creditors if our leaders continue to behave like this.
