Africia

[Primus Inter Pares]

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.

...what? Firstly "we" have never hindered African development, Africans pushed for independence and while during the colonial times the conditions for Africans wasn't the best, it was still a lot better than today, even back then. The problem is simply political instability and corruption, we're not to blame here, it's quite simple.

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.

...what are you on about? Firstly, where are these boats being sunk? Or are you using a metaphor (I'll guess the latter as a compliment to your intelligence) It's not a matter of blaming outside influences

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.

Yeah, this has been attempted, and failed, since the establishment of the United Nations and the decolonisation of Africa, there has been growing instability, not as a result of outside influences but as a result of a removal of outside influences, Africa on a purely geographical perspective has one of the greatest potentials of all the continents.
