KC, there is nothing. Absolutely nothing, a westerners can do to improve the conditions of Sub-Sahel Africa.

It was tried:

1) Colonization by slowly making African better.

2) Independency by given them self-rule.

The whole western hemisphere from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, was colonized and became a civilization. (I am leaving aside the human costs, since I can't judge what was done in the 16th century under today's social standards). Don't think I'm anti anything. Only Nigeria has a bigger balck population than Brazil, but we create a civilization out of that. I am not implying that it is a bed roses down there but it working in a civilized manner.

There is things that we can't change. Only time. Long time will solve the problem. Let the Africans live their dark age as the white man lived theirs.
