He notes only aid to develop Africa's communications and transport may be positive while basic export earnings and market access lack proposals. The meeting pivots to energy finance and negotiations after demands to merge commissions.

Leftists pledge to release El Salvador's ambassador
The five page statement read at the Inter American Development Bank meeting pledged to free El Salvador's ambassador Eduardo Casanova Sandoval and not trouble delegates if read. The kidnappers aligned with the Guerrilla Army of the Poor and the Farabundo Marti Popular Liberation Front blamed El Salvador's government for abuses and accused it of mishandling relief funds after the 1976 Guatemala earthquake. The embassy reported the ambassador injured in an unrelated street incident. Pecos Evening Lions announce a community blood drive at the center from 10 am to 7 pm Friday inviting all residents to donate.
