Botswana: Mogae Concerned HIV/AIDS Funds Pledged by United States Going to U.S. Military Operations

Botswana President Festus Mogae in an interview during the Commonwealth Summit in Nigeria on Saturday said that he was concerned that U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan could be "diverting crucial money" pledged by the Bush administration to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. Botswana is among the 12 African countries targeted by President Bush's five-year, $15 billion global AIDS initiative.
