New Internationalist magazine has a feature section on the G8 protests with on-site reports and statements from NGOs.
A coalition of African civil organisations released this statement after the end of the G8 summit at Gleneagles, in which they listed the main goals that need to be achieved to truly help Africa's countries end their poverty and improve themselves. All 4 points are wothwhile but the first and forth one especially. Without debt relief, most African countries will be unable to spend much on their civil budget due to the crushing burden of their debts and the mounting interest payments.
The section also has a look behind the scenes of the summit from a member of a small NGO that was involved, and a staff member who was part of the demonstrations and wrote first-hand of the rough justice meted out by the police.
