No clue as to what to do about Africa. But I have three observations. First, where standard of living is concerned, much of Africa is worse off today than it was under colonial rule; that’s an objective read on the situation. So I’m sympathetic to jg’s point where that’s concerned. Second – and this is no revelation – much of the aid sent to post-colonial Africa has been absconded by the ruling elites. Africans appear to really enjoy screwing each other over. Third, if there is a God, He doesn’t appear to like the Africans too much and I can’t for the life of me figure out what they’ve done to deserve such a fate. No God that I would ever worship would perpetrate such a clusterf*ck on such a large group of innocents.
