Angela O'Hagan, Oxfam Scotland.

Angela was at the conference representing the Make Poverty History campaign, part of a global effort of groups trying to make our generation the one that finally ends poverty in the World. This is a critical year for us - with the rich worlds leaders gathering at Gleneagles, we can really force our agenda for debt relief, better aid, and fairer trade. Aid tied to economic liberalisation must end, and economic subsidies for Western farmers are a travesty - a point whcih even the Commission for Africa makes clear. There may be disagreement over the Millenium Development Aims, she says, but we can all agree that the aspirations havn't been flfilled, and we need to do better. Hundreds of thousands of people marching on July 2nd will bring those aspirations closer.
