    Interesting! I've read many articles that suggest that Africa's problems actually stem mainly from colonialism, but I can't agree with that. Surely the problem is poor governing? It doesn't necessarily have to be a democracy, but benevolent and wise leaders, or should I say the lack thereof, are the reason for Africa's woes. I'm actually writing an essay on this for university as we speak, so I'd be very interested to hear what anyone has to say on the topic : )
