So I guess the rule is, don't introduce cities where the natives didn't have them before.

The other thing we are only getting a hint of is the over hype and spin by NGO's and the Media of poverty and disease in Africa.

There is a lot, but not as much as they portray. The numbers are hyped to help raise money. Remember the old space program saying. "No Bucks, no Buck Rogers!"

"Colonial practices", my foot.

One of the biggest reasons for the spread of AIDS is prostitution at African truckstops. Married to unprotected sex, the truckstops are a terrific way to spread the virus far and wide.
