Rather than dwelling on the specifics that they have asked for, which have been dwelt on by my colleagues, I will mention the extreme importance of the underlying issues that the grandmothers are trying to draw attention to: the epidemics of tuberculosis, AIDS and malaria in Africa that claim quite literally millions of lives every year and which represent, arguably, the greatest tragedies of our times.
Comme mes collègues ont déjà expliqué ce que les pétitionnaires réclament, je vais plutôt m'attarder sur l'importance extrême des questions sur lesquelles les grands-mères veulent attirer l'attention. Les épidémies de tuberculose, de sida et de malaria en Afrique font des millions de morts chaque année.
