Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

B. 02 STATE 265619
(SBU) Minister of Commerce Precious Ngelale on February 7
told the DCM Nigeria would oppose any effort that would delay
the implementation of a solution to the current impasse over
the Doha Declaration on Public Health. He said Nigeria would
not support expansion of the moratorium to cover conditions
other than HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and other deadly
infectious diseases afflicting Africans. He concluded, "We
agree completely with the U.S. position. I don't think it
would be difficult to get many of my colleagues to agree as
well."
