Africa has many problems but the Economist magazine was wrong. Africa is not a failed continent. Europe and North America through IMF and World Bank tried extremely hard to cripple the continent through the SAP (structural adjustment programs). It has all been well documented. HIV/AIDS can be traced to Western scientists and that theory of having sex with monkeys is just lame.

Africa is emerging and it makes people who took advantage of it very uncomfortable. God never sleeps.

@Llukashipman ".If you know any African being one that is above the ages of 90..listen to what the elder has to say they paint a totaly different story from any of heard of the continent.."

You don't need to say any more. You've made my point. Each tribe has its own unique traditions, rather than every tribe adhering to a single way of life

".never undermine the capabilities of the Africans in the past",

I don't.

I expose them as exceedingly underdeveloped compared to the rest of the world.

Slaves of the system if you really know how the world is controlled....from an intelligent point of view & not an intellectual capacity as the source of the indoctrinated education will always remain questionable....Look up history in the most unconventional way...look for banned books read then realize the mental impact that knowledge would have if all Africans knew the truth from 3-4generations ago? The planet would be a completely different reality plain..may you be peace and love....

@yourtreat2 I have not heard of any keepers that are alive that come from Eastern or Western Africa....If you know any African being one that is above the ages of 90..listen to what the elder has to say they paint a totaly different story from any of heard of the continent..futher more never undermine the capabilities of the Africans in the past...Today most of Africa is simply subjected to a western philosophical political system compared to their ATUAL past today Africans are merely slaves..

@yourtreat2 Not books approved by Oxford and Cambridge....Find a Sanusi...the word dereives from the Zulu language in Southern Africa and it means the keepers of Ancient and occult knowledge and wisdom..The last I checked only two remain within central and Southern Africa with the youngest well over the age of 90 or so...most other Keepers have been assassinated through out the past four decades to eradicate this knowledge ...to give you an idea look U-tube Credo Mutwa..
