The problem with Africa is stability. The whole notion behind this is investment, not aid correct (teach a man to fish, rather then giving him one)? Africa being so corrupt we have no control over the resources once it's there, whether it be the government hording aid from it's people as is always the case, or the government limiting economic growth with bogus taxes and already shitty economies.

It's tough to say, but the reality must be realized, Africa is a black hole. We could dump trillions it would do no good, I think we almost need to take a hands off approach let them figure it out for themselves, all of their problems seems to stem from us dabbling there anyways. Like a fire that can't be controlled, maybe we just need to let this one suffocate itself.

To keep driving home the fact that I am cold hearted bastard. The reason so many people starve to death there is the ecosystem, the country, whatever you want to call it, can't sustain the birth rate and population. On that same note you get freaky shit like Ebola and AIDS being born on that continent, oh wait that's right, the white man created aids...

Then you have conflict. This is truly our sin. Favoring one African tribe over another led to situations like Rwanda. We lit the fire, then the outside world successfully fanned the flames by selling 20th century weaponry to 1st century people.

Black Hole, eventually it will collapse on itself...
