The Grand Finale of the G8 Summit


G8 Leaders at the Moulin Rouge.

As the G8 Summit comes to a close, it seems like we’ve seen another grand show from world leaders, but not much real decision-making. It’s a disappointment that they didn't regain their credibility, and have been unclear on previous promises and new commitments. Why the façade?

Just like the show at the Moulin Rouge, the G8 Summit seems to be just for show with choreographed moves and behind-the-scenes agreements. It’s time for world leaders to come out from backstage and see the reality of their indecision. Every day one in 7 people will die of hunger, and they can’t afford to wait for the show to be over.
