Egyptian leader urges West to seek way to cover gaps that have appeared in foreign aid budgets during global crisis. L'AQUILA - Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak on Friday urged the leaders of the world's richest countries to freeze repayments due on loans to Africa in order to help the poorest through the economic crisis. He said African borrowers should enjoy "preferential terms" and urged the West to reject protectionism in trade and to seek a way to cover the gaps that have appeared in foreign aid budgets during the global slowdown. The Egyptian leader was addressing a working meeting between the leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States and eight African leaders on the closing day of the G8 summit in Italy. He called on them to "guarantee that the major industrialised countries' stimulus plans don't lead to protectionist policies and don't aggravate the imbalances in the international commercial system." The G8 leaders had already signed a declaration rejecting protectionism, and promising to renew efforts to reach an agreement on the Doha round of global trade negotiations in 2010. Africa, whose economies are often dependent on exports and international aid, has been sorely hit by the global crisis, which began when Western banks were exposed has having taken on too much risky debt. According to the International Monetary Fund, economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa will fall to 1.5 percent this year from 5.5 percent in 2008.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak accused Israel of scuttling a deal that was on the verge of ending the three-year captivity in Gaza of soldier Gilad Shalit, in an interview to be published in Israel's top-selling daily on Friday. Mubarak, whose government has led efforts to broker the release of the young conscript seized by Palestinian militants in a cross-border raid in June 2006, told Yediot Aharonot that Shalit was about to be transferred to Egyptian safekeeping when Israel altered its terms for the envisaged prisoner swap. "There are terms for ending the problem of Gilad Shalit and we were on the verge of resolving it but you delayed the matter," Mubarak said in the interview, "We were on the verge of receiving Shalit from Hamas and of putting him with us until you released some Palestinian (prisoners)," he said, Shalit, who also has French citizenship, has become a cause celebre on Israel. His family have been deeply critical of successive Israeli governments for failing to secure his release through an exchange for Palestinians held in Israeli jails. Mubarak said that Shalit remained in good health in the hands of his Hamas captors despite his long ordeal, even though similar remarks by the Egyptian president earlier this week were dismissed by the Islamist movement as "wishful thinking". Israeli officials visited Egypt twice this month to discuss Shalit's release. Senior defence ministry official Amos Gilad met Egyptian officials in Cairo on Thursday, official media reported, two days after Israeli President Shimon Peres met Mubarak in the Egyptian capital. Gilad was Israel's pointman in Egyptian-brokered truce negotiations with Hamas after its devastating 22-day assault on Gaza in December and January ended in unilateral ceasefires by both sides. The talks broke down when Israel made any truce deal conditional on Shalit's prior release.
