Africa over the centuries has seen more than its share of colonization and exploitation for it's material wealth. The world's classroom history books have documented the slave trade and the instability that has plagued the continent for decades.
Today in 2011 Africa's exploitation continues in a different, more insidious and sophisticated way through the World Bank and the I.M.F.(International Monetary Fund).
Africa's desire to form an African Unified Coalition, similar to the European Common Market, is needed more than ever to counterbalance the economic and political influence of Neo-Colonialists masquerading as altruistic countries.
Hi Richard,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post. I especially liked the video.
Since you care about what's happening in Africa, could you please check out this website, "www.raisehoepforcongo.org," sign the petition and check to make sure you are buying compassionate electronics? What is happening to women, men and children in eastern Congo is a crime against humanity.
I wrote my paper on this, and it has motivated me to do everything I can to get the word out. I will post on my blog, as you have done. Thanks again.
