It doesn't matter if Little Noddy or the Tooth Fairy wrote the blooming article! We're considering, surely, its relevance to Trump's remarks about 'shit holes' and whether African people are capable of taking up a new life in the West.

I can see from reading it that the person, whoever they are, has indeed spent a significant amount of time in Senegal, and what they describe rings true to me.

The gist is, can folk from such underprivileged, poverty-stricken and vastly alien cultures adapt and contribute to Western life?
And I say they can, and have done, in spite of Trump's apparent opinion that it would be like expecting a duck to play the violin.

I know only too well there are many awful aspects of basic African culture. FGM is appalling (most of my husband's female relatives have suffered this) and though banned now in theory, it still takes place in secret. Treatment of women and lack of women's rights is another stumbling block. Ignorance of health matters and poor educational standards are lamentable. Family obligations can be financially depleting. And so on...
But all the African people I know who have successfully emigrated to UK have made wonderful and commendable strides in understanding and embracing our fortunate existence.
