Frankly because African problems are really, really hard to deal with in any meaningful way. African tribes have been murdering each other off for thousands of years. In some areas of the continent colonialism temporarily put an end to this never ending cycle of genocide, while in others it only accelerated the process. Modern medicine and agriculture has caused the population of Africa to boom in spite of this violence and the presence of AIDS. The number of victims has grown accordingly.

The boarders of African nations have been largely drawn up by western colonial powers who no longer want to deal with the problems created by their ancestors, such as Belgium, France, Germany, and Portugal. The English Commonwealth system has a slightly better track record and the United State's only historical creation is Liberia, proving once and for all that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. These lines have no real meaning to actual Africans whose politics are based on tribalism, clan loyalty, and occasionally religions such as Sunni Islam or Coptic Christianity. What Africa really needs IMAO is to "devolve" at bit politically away from the nation state so that it can "evolve" its institutions into something that better suits the needs of the people. Decentralized Jeffersonian democracy would be a godsend to the people of Africa.... if you can keep them from chopping each other's heads off with machetes, that is.

#4 Thanks for the info. But isn't it true that the African Moslems are being emboldened by the actions of their "brothers" in Al-Quackhead and so forth, and are on a rampage that's not actually based on ancient tribal pay-backs? Just wondering.
