Africans need to reject tribalism and work towards national unity.  Corruption is rampant, but in many situations is accepted because that corruption is good for whatever particular tribal group you belong to.  Also, the other nations of the world cannot lift africa up, africans must do it themselves.

South Africa. If all goes well.

For development to flourish, good government is required that supports development.  There is not a great deal of good government in Africa.  Until the governments improve there will be no development.  Granted there may be attempts at development but it will not flourish.  \n\nRegrettably, you are probably wasting your time.

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.

Can we say Africa? And I dont think that the UN gave any money to help Rwanda after their civil war against the Tutsis or Hutus. I could be wrong about that one.

I don't see the sense in preaching at all.  Instead of buying a plane ticket send them the money.  Do you have any idea how far $1000 US would go in most countries in Africa?  Africa doesn't need any more outsiders going in there and creating more division between the people.  The French did it, the Belgians, Germans, British, etc. People need to realize when to stop *trying to* help.\n\n\n*Forcing*

well, how lucky that we just studied this in school.  As a few of the above people have said, when British imperialists came in a made new borders, ethnic groups were forced into close proximity which obviously cause conflict.  Because Africa is so rich in natural resources (gold, oil, etc.)  many poor ethinic groups will want power over thees resources.  not helping at all, are the corrupt governments in africa which lack any infrastructure or laws.  the black market is also a big problem in Africa because it doesnt allow equal ditribution of money made from these resources.  it also funds many terrorist activities which, in turn, prevent any real government from being set up in those areas.  So, a mixture of economical problems, corrupt govts., black markets, and terrorism (all fueled by ethnic strife) is the cause of so much instability in Africa.  Hope i helped\n\n\nTIm\n\n\np.s.

Leaders are like TV programming: you get the intelligence level you demand.  We have a president who thinks Africa is a country because we settled for one.

The problem is that many African countries don't have functioning governmental institutions.  Sending money might help alleviate problems temporarily, but until they have more stable institutions and social welfare programs, governments can't be effective in helping their people.  Another problem is that many African countries have outrageous amounts of debt, so this plus unstable economies (that part is sort of a chicken and egg kind of thing) make it really difficult for these governments to become more stable and to provide and maintain public goods.

true .it cannot be wiped out but it  be reduced to a very great extent.the best way out of poverty alleviation is to enable those facng poverty to tale up activities that would improve their lot economicaly rather than food aids or debt cancellations

thats because slavery has never ended, the mental drain of africa is an ongoing thing, europe and americas where all built by africans.\nand to be quite honest africa has its own problems to be worried about what happened in the past especially when there is so much shit going down in this continent

Read a book called Guns, Germs, and Steel or get it on video if you're lazy.  Basically the author of this book explains how geographic and climactic factors favored agriculture in Europe as their society evolved, this gave them a head start towards modern society.  Africa's climate continues to be less favorable for agriculture and industry.  And in many places their social structure remains focused on survival rather than "progress".  Thats not the whole story, but its a big piece of the puzzle.
