It is all about discrimination and prejudice: Didier Drogba: Charity Commission investigating player's foundation (BBC)

A charity run by Didier Drogba is being investigated over "serious regulatory concerns" by the Charity Commission.

The Daily Mail claimed that just £14,115 out of £1.7m donated to the Didier Drogba Foundation had gone to help causes in Africa.

Former Chelsea striker Drogba, 38, is threatening legal action and called the Mail's story "false and defamatory".

This is all about discrimination against black people by showing that they are corrupt.  The  Daily Mail has never reported about how Comic Relief uses the  money they fundraise using disturbing images about poverty and diseases in Africa, including showing on TV African children collecting eating rubbish in different parts of Africa. African people deserve respect please !

That money raised by Comic Relief is in reserves and commercial investments. It is used to pay international flights and hotels of Comic Relief staff and to create Jobs for British people.  The recent  Sport Relief's fundraising event has raised £56,984,007 and no one knows how much of this amount will be used to help African people (http://www.comicrelief.com/sportrelief).  The 2015 Comic Relief's fundraising event raised £99,418,831. Additionally, Comic Relief receives annually more than £20 million from DFID for UK Diaspora organisations. The large part of that funding has been channelled to UK white people-led organisations. There are many UK charities run by white people who live on money fundraised to help  Africa. This a new and modern way of exploiting Africa.

 

Comic Relief has raised £1bn over 30-year existence and the impact of this money is not seen on the grounds in Africa.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.

[RwandaLibre] Rwanda : 19 ans après les massacres de Kibeho restent toujours impunis

  http://www.fdu-rwanda.com/ Rwanda : 19 ans après les massacres de Kibeho restent toujours impunis avril 22, 2014     Ce 22 avril 2014 est un triste anniversaire. Souvenons-nous, en effet, c'est à cette date que plus de 8'000 réfugiés dans le camp de Kibeho furent tués à l'arme lourde et aux lance-roquettes des soldats du Front Patriotique Rwandais. Des dizaines de milliers de rescapés du camp qui ont tenté ensuite de s'échapper ont été froidement abattus sur leur chemin de retour, les uns, jetés dans des fosses communes, d'autres, jonchés tout le long des routes, d'autres enfin, tout simplement disparus, sans la moindre trace.   Le camp de réfugiés de Kibeho abritait près de 200000 personnes. Que l'on se rappelle, c'est peu avant le 17 avril 1995 que, sous le prétexte fallacieux de démantèlement de prétendus arsenaux d'armes, six bataillons de l'armée du FPR (2000 hommes) et de la...
