AIDS activists jeer U.S. official (Kenya)

-- HIV-infected Africans shouted down an American official Friday when she tried to defend the U.S. contribution to the fight against AIDS at a conference in Kenya.

In their second protest at the week-long gathering, the activists from across Africa stood up and walked toward the podium, waving placards and whistling and jeering at Leslie Rowe, a diplomat from the U.S. embassy in Nairobi.

With the slogans "Aids treatment now!" and "Generic drugs now!" emblazoned on placards, they got up from their seats in an auditorium, panicking organizers at the closing ceremony.

The nearly 100 activists of the Pan-African AIDS Treatment Access Movement sang and shouted that the United States should pay more toward the treatment of millions of AIDS victims on the world's poorest continent.

Police were on standby but made no arrests.

I heard the professor,(don't remember his name, sorry) say that Shrub's AIDS fight in Africa is a sham - only 100 people have been given the drugs they need! Unfu**ing believable!
