How has Africa s internal diversity and outside influences affected its development and ability to be a part?
Q. How has Africa s internal diversity and outside influences affected its development and ability to be a part of the modern global community? During the 20th and 21st Centuries, Africa has been ripe with civil war, and often times, genocide. What main factors do you think have contributed to civil war in Africa? Are European influences, tribal differences, geographical factors, outside forces or other issues the key reason for civil unrest on the continent?

What parts of Africa did the various slave traders collect slaves from?
Q. I have heard that there were certain parts of Africa that remained untouched by the slave trade. I know that in many cases it was Africans themselves who sold other Africans to the white slave traders. I believe that there were no slaves taken from Kenya.
Asked by Tyson&Chino - Sun May 3 16:34:36 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. European slave traders got all their slaves from west Africa because it was the closest place to the end users in the new world. Freight costs were very high. Also allot of the slaves died on the way across the Atlantic. Taking them from East Africa was just not practical. Arab slave traders did collect slaves in East Africa.

Would you support putting military focus in Africa to stop the gangs and genocide?
Q. Gangs are as powerful as a small army in Africa. They kill people, kidnap children and brainwash young boys to fight. They are nothing like the gangs in the US. Would you support sending troops to Africa to kill these gang members?

Asked by heinodj - Mon Apr 20 19:18:58 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Kenya is providing the venue for prosecuting the pirates. Looking at a map of Somalia, the country is practically all coastline. There aren't really any African nations near it. Kenya and Eritrea, but their navies are quite small, mostly consisting of patrol boats. Ethiopia has no coast. Djibouti has its own issues, but provides bases for the US and other countries. That's pretty much it. The European countries and the US have economic interests, such as owning the tankers and ships sailing though the area.

A. Blaming it on colonization ignores the fact that diseases have always existed. I don't recall Diamond blaming disease on colonization. If he did, he would greatly reduce his credibility. Where he did mention it, it was about the white people not being able to take tropical diseases. The disease problem in Africa doesn't involve whites or colonists.

How is South Africa a 1st world country, extremely civilized, and the rest of Africa is not?
Q. Even the 2 countries that are basically INSIDE of South Africa - Lesotho and Swaziland - are uncivilized. South Africa also has equal rights for LGBT, which is a huge step, while the rest of Africa basically bans homosexuality and many countries use the death penalty against homosexuals. How did South Africa seemingly rapidly industrialize compared to the rest of Africa? There's not even any "civilized" countries anywhere around them.

A. Well cape town was the first colony the British had in Africa, and it worked hard to keep it and develop it as it was a key port town. So Britain poured a lot of effort into stabilising it and industrialising it, and formed a country that could look after itself, so when it declared independence it could stand on it's own two feet, whereas other African colony's asked for independence when they had only just started with government, and therfore encountered corruption amongst other problems. Since the 1950's, South Africa has been able to capatalise on it's huge diamond mine resources to provide huge industrialisation.

A. The best way to help others is to be a good example of independent success, if you give African people money, food, etc. then that's HOW they get it from now on...You are not helping them, you are helping a parasitic political organization to spread propaganda... Why would they improve their position when you are sending all this help? They've already got it made! The best way to help these people is to let them discover what they can accomplish on their own...Or, if they are destined to suffer for their whole lives, then let them die quickly instead of stretching it out over years and years.
