UN special envoy Stephen Lewis yesterday accused the G8 countries of betraying Africa by their failure to find the money to fulfil their Gleneagles promise on the treatment, care and prevention of Aids.

In a speech at the international Aids conference in Toronto, Mr Lewis said that African governments attempting to treat their citizens were struggling with the cost and their chief fear was that the money from donor countries would dry up."
