How can Africa as a continent justify growing coffee and coca for the west while people are starving?
Q. Should Africa ban all exports and expel all foreign companies and start working towards meeting the needs of its people. Is an open door policy just an invitation for western countries to steal from them. Everyone knows that in the past the western countries in the past used colonisation as the method of stealing how ever the more sophisticate way of stealing now is using companies and currency.

What is the safest country in Africa for an american to live and work in as an expat?
Q. I know alot of people have asked this question. But I'll ask it again, which country in africa is safer for an ameircan to live and work in as somewhat of an expat?

A. I am an American who has been living in Tunisia 7+ years. Tunisia is a very safe country. It is a lot safer than most of the Western counties. Many expatriates from various countries make their home here because it is so safe. The people are so warm and hospitable. They instantly welcome you as one of their own and treat you like family. Tunisians are very warm people and in my experience would give you the shirt off their back if you needed it, or even if you just liked it! If you ever were to get invited to eat at the house of a Tunisia, you would be treated like royalty! Tradition here is that the guest gets served the biggest and best portions of all food.

Asked by Delirium tremens - Sun Dec 18 12:05:23 2005 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments
A. People have been suffering since there were people. However, Africa is especially troubled. This can be traced back to European colonization and exploitation. Independence in Africa did not go well, and it has been in a state of constant political turmoil (which precludes any sort of widespread economic or social success) ever since. Political corruptions makes it especially difficult for food to reach the hungry. Rapid population growth is also burdensome. There may be enough food to feed the hungry in the world. But were it to reach them, they would simply have more children -- who would them go hungry again. As long as populations continue to grow, people will continue to be miserable.

The tribes also moved around a little bit; so in summary, there were no states but a large number of tribes that have little resimblance to the idea of a country as we know it today. In fact European powers tended to group warring tribes in the same states when they left africa in the 60's which is why there has been so much conflict
