US President Barack Obama on Sunday announced that Washington would seize money stolen by corrupt African leaders and hidden in the America and the West.
The announcement was made in President Obama's name by US Attorney General Eric Holder to a meeting of African heads of state. “The Kleptocracy recovery effort” he said would target large-scale corruption perpetrated by foreign nationals, and he had assembled a team of prosecutors to deal with it.
| Many of those listening African heads of state are on the list of accused kleptocrats. This should go far to impact their countries' efforts in the war on terror. Cleverly done, President Obama! |
