Kadhafi Foundation to focus on humanitarian aid

2010-12-17

Seif al-Islam's charitable foundation will abandon political activity to focus exclusively on aid for sub-Saharan Africa, AFP reported on Thursday (December 16th). In a statement released Wednesday, the Kadhafi Foundation announced that it would "no longer include advocacy for political and human rights reform among its activities" but would instead "redouble efforts to fulfill its core charitable mission of delivering aid and relief to disadvantaged populations, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa".

"I am confident that this shift will allow us to direct our efforts in the most important areas in which we work, improving people's lives in some of the poorest areas on Earth," AFP quoted Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi's son as saying.
