A. we could save our billions of aid dollars if their governments wasn't so corrupt. then we would not have to worry about feeding their poor starving children that they reproduce so numerously and cannot or will not care for them. also, if they would end slavery and free their innocents and recognize women's rights and quit making them breeding animals with no say over anything. then they and the whole world would benefit. they could share in their own wealth.

Does the misery in Africa become a great way to sell iPods, cellphones and clothes as can be seen advertised?
Q. I think the misery in Africa became a great market to sell products and to promote celebreties. Feeding the starvation may had become a much better option than ending with it. We can't forget there is New Orleans here too.

A. showing starving people helps to gain sympathy to sell products. They will never end poverty and hunger, it sells too much.

Is the Continent of Africa, The Country to stay away from, or can I visit there to see the beginnings of time?
Q. I travel quite a bit, Africa is a Continent I have always wanted to visit. South Africa is more to my liking, but just like the United States, I would like to travel all over the country visiting the people, learning their culture, and language. I have visited Europe, and have enjoyed the many pleasant people, and their way of life. My next trip is to Ireland, and then hopefully to South Africa. Learning about other people and the way they live, love, and create is of much value to me as a human being. I have sommething to share, and I need to learn all I can about the Countries I visit. Knowing more about the Human Race, helps me to be a more compassionate person, and open to different things.

As soon when you land on "Air Namibia" airport, there is a place called Avis, which rents cars. Namibia is a tourist land more than anything else, but please note it's summer here, and it's very hot. So I would recogment getting a car with aircon :-) And if your car break down, don't worry, haha, by dad's a mechanic near Etosha. Alternatively, you can hire a safari guy to take you on a tour, there's a lot of places, I think there's pamflets at the air namibia too. Here is a link to view some photos

South Africa also has equal rights for LGBT, which is a huge step, while the rest of Africa basically bans homosexuality and many countries use the death penalty against homosexuals.

A. Well cape town was the first colony the British had in Africa, and it worked hard to keep it and develop it as it was a key port town. So Britain poured a lot of effort into stabilising it and industrialising it, and formed a country that could look after itself, so when it declared independence it could stand on it's own two feet, whereas other African colony's asked for independence when they had only just started with government, and therfore encountered corruption amongst other problems. Since the 1950's, South Africa has been able to capatalise on it's huge diamond mine resources to provide huge industrialisation.

A. there weren't really "countries" in africa before European colonization. Instead the land was inhabited by hundreds of tribes, that didn't have the strictly defined legal style boundries that countries have today. 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

A. The best way to help others is to be a good example of independent success, if you give African people money, food, etc. then that's HOW they get it from now on...You are not helping them, you are helping a parasitic political organization to spread propaganda... Why would they improve their position when you are sending all this help? They've already got it made! The best way to help these people is to let them discover what they can accomplish on their own...Or, if they are destined to suffer for their whole lives, then let them die quickly instead of stretching it out over years and years.

A. Here is a web site that can help you learn more about the skills and experience desired by long-term placement organizations, and how you can gain that experience locally, wherever you are right *now*, no matter your age. You are never too young nor too old to start engaging in activities and training that will make you a viable candidate for long-term volunteer placement agencies, like PeaceCorps, UN Volunteers, VSO, etc.: The goal of organizations working in poor countries is to give the local people jobs and to keep money local, not to give Westerners a feel-good vacation/experience -- hence why short-term placement agencies (in contrast to the aforementioned) charge volunteers a fee, or require these volunteers to pay their own way ( [cont.]

A. Actually, the Africans enslaved each other and then sold their brother's to the Europeans. Slavery was exploited and globalized by the Europeans, but it was part of African society already by that time. Speaking from my own experiences, China would have sent tens of thousands of Chinese to Africa and would have taken over the running of the continent. They would then create a false history in which Africa was always a part of China and would punish anybody who didn't accept it. Eventually the Africans would be an ethnic minority on their own continent and would be little better than slaves. Only the Africans who acted like they were Chinese would be allowed to advance in society. The rest would be doomed to be farmers or factory workers… [cont.]
