Check out the following article from CNN.com when you have a chance: Global Summit in Kenya to focus on Africa's Plight.

This month, various leaders met in Nairobi to discuss matters of importance to the continent of Africa. At the World Social Forum, people will campaign over trade, poverty, war, and the environment.

Kenya has the largest economy of the countries in East Africa, yet it possesses many of the problems that are typical of African nations: AIDS, poverty, environmental issues, etc.

This year, the World Social Forum was held just before the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
