DOHA: Leaders from the world´s poorest nations poured out their disappointment and bitterness at a UN summit on Sunday over the treatment of their countries by richer counterparts. Leaders of the world´s major economies have been markedly absent from debate, which will last five days, on the turmoil in poor nations. “Central African Republic has always been wrongly considered by certain Western powers as a reserve for strategic materials,” he added. Gold and diamond companies linked to Wagner in Central African Republic and Sudan were also hit by EU sanctions. The LDC summit lasts until March 9 while hundreds of business executives are attending a parallel private sector forum.
