i'm like stalin because i don't want to see 50,000 people a day die? becuase i think something should be done about it? something that will have zero impact on people's lives?
It's not that you want something done - it's the way in which you want it done. "we can rob from the rich and give to the poor." No, we can't rob from anyone. You can try to persuade people to voluntarily give money, but once a government or any person crosses the line and takes what they want by force - whatever it is, whatever it's for - that government becomes a dictatorship, or the person becomes a thief.

and it is not the choice of anyone to watch people in africa die. well it shouldn't be a choice. at the least it's criminal negligence resulting in the genocide of an entire continent. but truly it is actively taking part.
No, it's not. Fault implies responsibility, and responsibility can only be taken on by choice. I have a responsibility to my kids - if I have any - because I took on that responsibility by choice. I help out my family, not because of any forced obligation, but because I took on that obligation by choice - I do it, because I want to. I'm watching my little sister today - I'm responsible for her - by choice. I do not choose to be responsible for every other person on the planet; they have not earned any undue effort on my part. I would give a dollar to a friend I trust and respect over a complete stranger because my friend has earned it, and I choose to, and so my action has worth. Any action done out of external obligation instead of internal choice has the same moral value as someone pointing a gun to my head and making demands.

we are obligated to help africa.
My only obligation is to myself. The "common good," the "public," the "masses" are NOT more important than the individual, nor does the individual have any obligation to any of those imaginary, uindefineable terms.
