Dear Prme Minister Blair,

One of the stated goals of the Commision for Africa is "llI. To help deliver implementation of existing international commitments towards Africa;"

I am not holding my breathe, but I hope this Commission unlike the signatories to the Alger's Agreement that brought, at least, to a halt the fighting between Eritea and Ethiopia will make sure that the decision of the Eritrean/Ethiopian Border Commison's final and binding judgement is impelemented in full even if the implemetation time is so very over due. We all know that African does not suffer from lack of resources, human or materilal, but from lack of peace and use of resource for the benefit of all the people. It is only when international law is respected and peace regins that development takes root and the lives of people will improve.
