Africa: Why We See What We See.

ü  Malaria
ü  Bilharzias – snail fever
ü  Tsetse fly
ü  Colonialism – guns and arrested development
ü  Development was exploitive
ü  Land locked
ü  Flags changed but the legacy remained whether French, English or Belgian
ü  Administrative expertise departed
ü  Commerce remained the same – colonial and exploitive
ü  Cooper prices drop
ü  Socialism
ü  Artificial boundaries divided people groups  
ü  Wars/Conflicts/Cold War
ü  Foreign Aid guarantees no sustainability
ü  Debt and borrowing
ü  Refugees
ü  Fights for independence – Rhodesia, Mozambique
ü  Drought
ü  Corruption
ü  Lack of free trade
ü  HIV/AIDS
 If you have seen what I have seen then think on these things.
