Why Dream Theater is the Best Prog band!!

MikeEnRegalia All you're saying is true. I just think that all attempts to really change the situation will fail until the underlying problem is solved. If all the problems that you mentioned were solved, Africa would still be a poor continent, because there simply are way too many people living there, compared to their natural resources.

The underlying problem is poverty, mismanagement from their past governments, and some other things (Does 400 years of opression have nothing to do with the current situation).

One of them might be overpopulation, but to say, because Africa is overpopulated (which it isn't) we will not do what we can to stop poverty

Structural changes in Africa need to be made (education, health care, economic growth, utilisation of natural resources, which are abundant among other things).

But before these changes can be made, the African people need to be fed first, and taken out of the negative viscious circle they are in, which the current debt problem is one of the main reasons for.

Annie why I signed, and you don't have to agree with me, or anyone else, but poverty is not something that can be solved by standing on the side-line and saying it's theit own fault. For how can it be the fault of numerous five year olds, who are dying right this minute.
Of course if their parents never gave birth to that child, it wouldn't be starving
