Africa's next great Scramble 
SCRAMBLE TO DAM THE CONGO KEEPS AFRICANS IN THE DARK
Advocates of the $80 billion Grand Inga Project on the Congo River
project who met in London this week failed to include the voices of
those who will be most affected if the dam is built.
African non-governmental organizations and the affected communities
were pointedly excluded from participating in the London meeting.
Instead, almost 100 representatives of governments, banks and the dam
industry gathered to discuss financing the project's development. This
flawed process bodes ill for the project's ability to reduce poverty
in the region or to provide sustainable development.
