Dear friends, It was reported yesterday, both on CNN and on German State TV that the Oil for food programme has been suspended after Iraq refused to a shortening of the time period for which the extension is valid. This development is to me just as surprising as it is worrying. Does this now mean that for the time being even the meagre resources of this aid will be cut off, leaving the Iraqi people with nothing at all? As I said this took me completely by surprise and I would appreciate if anyone could let me know: 1) Is this as serious as it seems ? 2) Is there any chance of a quick solution to the problem before the flow of aid to Iraq is cut completely?
