Imperialism played a role in getting Africa into this mess. We shouldn't use imperialism to try to get them out of it. Africa, by and large, comes across as a region that doesn't want to improve. They know about the Aids problem and they still have enough unprotected sex to spread the disease like wildfire. Africa does recieve handouts from pretty much every nation. I know they're recieving this, because every time I turn on the tv, some aid organization is begging me to sponsor one of their kids. You know someone is sending money, because they stay in business. What do they do with all this money? It gets squandered amongst the government elite. Until Africa makes even the smallest initiative not to be a war-torn, poverty striken, aids epidemic, there's nothing the world can do. It's like treating an alcoholic, or quitting smoking. The alcoholic or smoker has to make the first step. Africa's not doing it.
