Sigh.  It is frustrating to see though the West might have the best intentions, they still have no idea what is going on in Africa. How will redrawing borders solve any problems at all? It is certainly not borders that are causing the immense amount of poverty and disease that plagues Africa.  Redrawing borders will only cause confusion, especially considering that there are thousands of tribes in Africa: 73 in Zambia alone.  Most African tribes get along swell, and they got along even better before colonialism.  \n     What Africa needs is not United Nations intervention (Oh God that would be a nightmare), or religion, or democracy (almost, if not all the countries in Africa, are "democracies", at least assert that they are), or birth control, or whatever other easy solutions Westerners come up with.They need justice: an equal share of the worlds resources so that they can have money to feed their families, educate their children, and fight the diseases that plague their continent.\nBut, as Bono says, Westerners are good at charity, they are terrible at justice.  So, we'll see what happens.

Most of sub-Saharan Africa won its independence in the first few years of the 1960s. Just pick a country and look it up. One example would be Zaire (ex-Belgian Congo).

I was in Botswana for two weeks in 1992.  I really liked it a lot.  It is quite tragic how much warfare is tearing that continent apart.

According to the CIA World Factbook, many African countries have not modern national telecommunications network.  Somalia is a specific example. Even those that do have relatively reliable service are at an overall rate of technological advancement and reliability comparable to America in the 1930s.

Having lived in Accra, Ghana West Africa, I can tell you that there is lots to be done there.  There are schools that need help with buildings, supplies, teachers.  There are Churches that need the same.  The people as a whole, want to learn to do things for themselves, they just need to be taught how to do things better so they can have a better life.

Too True. Why not? the 'West' continue to enjoy the fruits of exploitation whilst turning a blind eye to the exploited. In having it in your face you will at least not claim not to know. Africa frnakly needs to take it's own affairs in hand and kick out the exploiters.

AIDS is contributing to the underdevelopment of the entire African continent.  There is no good reason for the US to withdrawl funding to fight it.  It is morally reprehensible to ignore the problem and from a more pragmatic view the problems in Africa will hurt America in the long run.  Disease has destabilized much of Africa and led to wars, racial tension, and genocide.  This is a world problem, not just Africa's.

There's no doubt Africa is in a bad way right now.  However, we must remember that most African countries are less than 50 years old.  Even the US was still having problems at that point.  Africa was more exploited by colonizers, and so it only makes sense there are more problems.  However, progress is being made.  Democracy is the way of rule in many countries, having progressed from dictatorships-- Ghana is a good example.  Botswana is doing well economically (comparatively).  Africa is moving forward, and that in itself is cause for hope.
