toether, we worked very hard bring south africa, angola and cuba together. we worked for the retreat of cuban troops in angola and namibia. but a few of the areas in which we elaborated. to illustrate, i will speak briefly about specific action my country has undertaken in the drc and in the central african republic. in the democratic republic of congo, my country plays the role of facilitator in the national dialogue, ringing the main political factions together. in the central african republic, the congo is contributing in various forms toward a search for solutions for conflict. amongst others, we sent a thousand men to participate in the peacekeeping contingent cosponsored by the african union and the un security council. the congo is also the mediator between the armed conflicts and the opposing political forces. my country has also offered a loan to the central african state in order to ensure at least minimal functioning of its public administration. gentlemen, whatever the presence or the intensity of armed violence and terrorist threats, we can neve

africa in 16 years. it has been a very long time. of coarse, the south african story and trajectory from 2000 until now is just a seachange. extraordinary transformation that is a huge part of the story. we always try and have the conferences and places where we hope it will make a difference. people don't know this, but steve knows it, when the the hiv traveld ban and we could come back to the united states, you were there in d.c. in 2012. we made the decision to come back to the u.s. and we chose washington because it had the highest numbers in the country. truly ground zero for women and girls, the highest rates in the world. we will truly be in the epicenter of that epidemic. a critical part of all that we need to do in terms of prevention and treatment with human rights. i think that for those reasons it is the right lace area the head of the human sciences research council and one of the architects of the south african health system is really a leader in how you integrate hiv into a health system. that is one of the reasons why we asked her to do t

south africa is a tremendous example. there is unbelievable change in south africa, historic, unprecedented change and the administration says, see, everything is going our way throughout the world, now let's focus on the real locus of attention which is gorbachev. everything else will unfold and all will be nirvana throughout the developing world. i think here is a case where i do not see the south, global south playing a particular role, again, within the way the bush at administration dealt with things. certainly for the bush administration, that seems to be the way i'm reading their substitutions. i think after that, i should probably just throw it open for other thoughts. >> great. if you put your hand up, we'll start with jim and taking notes and just signal to me, even while someone's talking, signal quietly and i'll get around to you. and if everybody would simply identify themselves before they ask their question. >> jim hershberg from george washington university. one quick question for jeffrey and two small que

i'm from south africa. my question is previously nelson mandela has inspired the foundation of the southern african fund for enterprises. it has run for two decades. it has since been stopped. is there any chance to develop another fund for enterprises in africa? >> well, it's a great question. one of the things that's interesting in not only some of the platforms that you developed at your universities but also during my trips to africa, is the degree to which young africans are less interested in aid and more interested in how can they create opportunity through business and entrepreneurship and trade not to say that we do not need deal with very serious challenges in terms of poverty. we need to make sure that we're continuing to work on behalf of the least of these but i think everybody recognizes is that if you want sustained development and sustained opportunity and sustained self-determination than the key is to own what is produced and to be able to create jobs and opportunity organically and indige

apartheid in south africa took 35 years. but it won't be enough for bds to match the success of the anti-apartheid movement. he has studied did i vestment movements, and it's good to talk to you. i think that it's fair to say that the divestment and boycott movement didn't actually undo apartheid. but it was actually sanctions applied at governmental levels, not people. it contributed to it, but it wasn't the nail in the coffin. >> not even the sanctions themselves were the nail in the coffin. what brought them down was the fact that the anc provide the alternative that the voters in south africa were haip with, and it made it possible for them to vote for. i don't think that it had much of a measurable affect of the economic performance of south africa. we looked at all of the measures, at the south african stock market and the currency and all of the factors, and there was no discernible economic impact. so you may sympathize very much of the goals of bds, but at the same time, it's very unlikely to be very effective. if y
