I don't think there is any hope for Africa any time soon.

Africa is totally eat-up with socialism. The barbaric thugs in power there see socialism for what it is, guaranteed power for the elite. Support from their like minded thugs in Europe and the American left allows them to enjoy it.

The MSM ignores Africa because Africa is the poster picture of what socialism causes to all that tolerate it.

The MSM wants the African lifestyle for everyone on Earth. Why else would they still support socialism ?

True, and yet,

because the need is so desperate . . . millions are turning to God in miraculous ways. Many are being absolutely healed of AIDS as well as many are actually rising from hours and even days dead. God has started to do something on the very dark continent. We shall see the end result.

Your post cuts to the heart of the matter.

Cannibalism is simply socialism unadorned with rhetoric.

Actually you got it wrong -- let's separate Africa into 3 components: the Sahara and north of the Sahara -- these are all Arab cultures (excpet for Sudan which is a mix of Arab and WEst-South African), the second East Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania etc): these have old cultures -- some like Ethiopia having developed to greatness on their own (there's a lot to suggest that Ethiopians are more Semitic, at least their language is!) and finally West and South Africa.

The North and the East have some culture and whatever problems they have can be blamed on that culture or on socialism.

South and West Africa is barbaric, with no culture. They are not advanced enough to appreciate civilisation. It's like trying to foist democracy on Germanic barbarians in the 1st century BC.

This does not denigrate all Africans -- especially not those from the EAst, but we got to treat each of these portions of Africa differently. I see no hope for Congo, Sierra Leone, Liberia etc. but I see hope for Ethiopia, Kenya etc.
