Do you honestly understand their culture ? Please give me the name of one country in Africa that has either made a successful go at independence or is capable of democracy ?

Exactly, none.

We will be asked to put our hand in our pocket for the next one hundred years to feed these nations. Has Live Aid Helped ? has millions of pounds of overseas aid helped ? It hasn't even made a dent in the standard of living of those counties.

You can see from the newsreels their armies run the latest four wheel drives and weaponry, where does the money come from for that ?

At the end of the day it is the responsibly for the government of these counties to see to the needs of their people. Tribal leaders call the shots in the majority of them. We can never change centuries of tradition.

I may not agree with these tin pot dictators, but I know none of us will never change these countries. Leave them to it.
