whats africia?

[Sparkle]

I was speaking to my maths tutor he showed me some pictures of his country i honestly thought it was Americia because it had big cities big expensive shopping centres and expensive cars then he told me it was his country Africa. I replied i thought Africa was poor and he said No hastings is more poor then Africa. Actually so is most of England compared to this country. Any where i asked him so what about the adverts they do for children in need and things like that he said that it was all a lie that the people who make these videos and take pictures gat to keep the money!! so things like oxfam and stuff the money dosent go to them so BEWARE!!! PEOPLE!!

I don't know what Africia is, but if you're speaking of Africa, then yes, it's very poor. Mainly because we don't help them enough.

AFRICA SORRY!

She probably found South Africa, which has it's rich parts, Africa back in the colonial days was very rich, pumping out huge amounts of food and minerals in great surplus, after the colonial powers withdrew this changed, Africa under poor local management and simple feuds simply collapsed without any organisation, leading to food shortages and inneficient handling of incredible mineral resources at its disposal lead to the Africa today.

No it was a he because he is African he said there was a few places like that but it is not as bad as it used to. i think its cruel that the poor people dont get the money they need!!1

But it's fair to argue that - in some cases - the people of Africa's poor areas would rather live independently, traditionally; without the aid of others.

But still, if that Oxfam stuff is right. Well, that's not nice. ;x

Not everywhere in Africa is a dead wasteland

[Zeldy]

Africa is one of the poorest. What it is the poorest isnt it? I dont listen in Geography

Who the hell are you and what did you do with our PiP?

1. Africa isn't a country

2. Many places in Africa are nice. The sub-saharan area is the worst part, but North Africa (countries such as Tunisia, Egypt etc) and Southern Africa are developing well.

No, it's not because we don't help, it's because we actively hinder. Socialist measures like trade tarriffs and farming subsidies mean that African individuals have almost zero chance of competing with the west, so they in turn stay poor.

We can keep giving Africa fish, or we can stop sinking their boats when they try to fish for themselves. Africa doesn't want and, if things were fair, would not need aid. They'd be perfectly able to stand on their own feet, and I'm sure a continent that size with a good 800,000,000 people in it would be able to do some damn fine things for Humanity.

Remember that Africa is not a country. Africa is a continent. Some parts are poor and some are rich. And Africa is bloody huge too so some places are neglected a bit.
