Given the apparent lack of preparation by the interviewer, Dambisa handled this interview exceedingly well.

Apologies if my statement will offend;

The problem is Africa is in large part, responsability of the African, the "White powers" only took advantage of the situation , we Africans should stop fighting each other, have you realised that the fight is not one African country against another, but internal conlicts? want an example? have a look at Angola, so rich and severely abused by external sources.

I love Moyo, I will buy her book and have a read. Her book is £6.19 on Amazon

MOYO NOT BONO FOR AFRICA

[austinvital]

@blueiguy1 YU better read it first. It is really poison for Africa.

[blueiguy1]

@austinvital No not yet but i get conflicting reviews but I will read it . She makes great points but I will have to look at the book first before i make judgement.

[austinvital]

@blueiguy1 Have you read Dead Aid?

[blueiguy1]

@austinvital How so? could you explain?

[tonykossa1]

What is the reason of this interview? Moyo's life or the ideas on her book?

[TRZbebop675]

If you're criticizing the interview as being dry: seriously, what else did you expect from CSPAN? Brian Lamb is a dry interviewer and sometimes asks obvious questions, yes, but he is better than Peter Robinson, who usually just fawns over his guests and seeks to validate their every point.

[austinvital]

Dead Aid as a book is poisnous for Africa.

[Barrackobama1000]

He look like trying to find fault with her...the whole interview without a single smile...
