The outcome shows a lack of understanding of the heart of the issues causing hunger and desperation in many countries already. We hope the citizens of these eight countries will put more pressure on their out-of-touch leaders. The planet is burning while the G8 is fiddling,” said Kumi Naidoo, Co-chair of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP).
