I don't see why it has to be considered a threat to help there. They are our fellow men women and children living in the worst of conditions. While the middle east may be the cradle of civilization, Africa is the cradle of humanity itself. When someone moves out of their parents house do they abandon their parents forever? I sorta feel the same way about Africa in some sense even though my skin is white and I'm pretty much a european-mutt-american.
One of my favorite pictures from space to view is the way the earth looks at night. The way entire islands, peninsulas, or even continents glow with light from all the houses, cars, streetlights.. etc. And then i see Africa, almost completely pitch black. It always seems to take away from some of the awe.
