#2 Why should West Africa be immune fromt the self immolation practiced by the rest of Africa. The continent has been in a long slow slide to oblivion since Jomo Kenyatta and the Mau-Mau. Go down the list: Zimbabwe, Angola, Uganda, Rwanda, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi, Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Congo Republic, et.al. and think of the common elements in each picture: Corruption, tribalism, society alternating between extreme dictatorship and anarchy, famine, hordes of ineffective NGOs, brutality, disease, squalor, poverty, hopelessness. Africa has been committing suicide by degrees for the last 50 years. Add AIDS and the UN to the picture and there is no hope at all.
