There wa s good series of programs on Channel 4 about the problems of Africa as discussed by white and black africans.
They highlighted four main areas of problem:
1) Massive corruption and dictatorial leaders.
2) Poor transition from white to black government.
3) Harsh Geography
4) Unequal trading laws.
Nowhere did they say that more loans or aid was needed, in fact they said the opposite that Africa needed to earn its money rather than depend on handouts.
It is nice to see that some people get it.
That's right on, especially number one and two...both are intimately related.
