If we truly want African nations to thrive we need to press hard for Western governments to stop wasting our taxes on subsidizing domestic agriculture. To their credit, some "anti-poverty" lobbyists now recognize this.

I have asked here before if anyone can tell us the sums of money, from Britain alone, that have been given to each former colony since its independence.
Just one would be interesting, e.g. Ghana?
Any takers?

I doubt that the Afro hairstyle will ever come back into fashion,

Chuh, shows what you know. On the right person it's never been out of fashion!

I'm sure that the sums of money given to former colonies are quite large but not as large as the costs to those countries of the CAP.

It seems to me that the problem with Africa is that European Socialist twits insured that their Socialist twit acolytes of African descent, were the ones to take the helm of the liberated colonies. This insured that the vast wealth of these countries could be squandered in the most effective way.

Not that the USA didn't throw gas on the problem with the incompetence of our State Department to aid and abet.

I am a business woman in the corporate world and I have a really nice afro (medium length). I love myself and I love my hair w/o all the chemicals. Believe it or not, I even feel better. The afro is back for "me".
