Congo offers aid to Haiti

The Democratic Republic of Congo has announced an offer of $2.5 million in emergency aid to Haiti, to help it cope with last week\'s earthquake.



Some Congolese have criticized the offer as millions of them live in poverty.



The country depends on foreign aid and civil servants frequently go unpaid.



But Information Minister Lambert Mende said while the country has its financial challenges it isn’t bankrupt and will contribute within its means.



Meanwhile, Senegal\'s President Abdoulaye Wade has offered free land to any Haitian who wants to live in Africa.
