"They will be in touch soon enough for food parcels."

You have a disgusting mind.

When will people like you understand that Africa has never been allowed to get off it's knees by the west.

They need to be allowed to be genuinely independant ... economically as well as politically.

Then they won't need to beg anyone for what should already belong to them.

Africa continues to be plundered for it's resources.

It's people are no longer on the list of saleable resources, and it's governments have the same skin colour as their subjects, but its other natural resources are still owned by the west and it therefore continues to depend on the mercy of the west for survival.

And I haven't even got started on the damage inflicted by the IMF and World Banks "development strategies" which limit agriculture to cash crops and effectively turn each country into the producer of one product - Cocoa from Ghana etc etc ...

You are making deeply insulting observations about a continent of human beings and your understanding of that continent is based on complete ignorance of the economic realities there on the one hand and a deeply racist view of Africans on the other.

let me guess ... Hans ...

Not a white south african are you?

Bit bitter that the Kaffirs have taken over eh?

Why is it that whenever I meet a white south african, they always claim never to have supported apartheid?
