Africa's misery and its turmoil(s) can easily be traced directly to centuries of exploitation, colonialism, imperialism, oppression, repression, murder and theft primarily by Europe, Britain, and America (the West). The conditions that exist today on the continent are the direct and indirect effects derived from causes that were put in place by the raping, pillaging, colonialism and the imperialistic ravages committed by Europe, Britain and America. Africa is aptly described the world's richest continents in natural resources, yet the conditions and the poverty of its people are staggering-beyond the imagination-riddled with disease, deprivation, wars, hunger and killings. And that raises the questions: why and how? History shines a light on the genesis and the continuation of the cause...

President [Hussein Obama]'s second visit to Africa within a month, first to Cairo, Egypt to speak to the Muslim world and then to Accra, Ghana to speak to Africa as a whole, indicates the importance'the U.S. puts on Africa as a site of strategic, ongoing and urgent interest. U.S. policy toward Africa is shaped by its interest in Africa as: 1) an expanding source of resources-oil, gas, minerals; 2) a strategic base for military activity in Africa and around the world to impose its will, attack its enemies and protect its markets; 3) a contested terrain for economic competition with emerging economic powers like China and India as well as the old economies of Europe; and 4) a source of political allies and/or client states to be engaged and used as needed. Obama's litany that good governa...

Member countries of OPEC have grown flush with wealth from their oil resources. Unfortunately, this wealth has often been accompanied by violence and suffering. Nigeria, the only member of the organization in sub-Saharan Africa, has perhaps suffered the most. Since the first commercial production of oil in the Niger Delta in the 1950s propelled Nigeria to the top of Africa's oil-producing countries, the country has been wracked by regional conflicts over exploitation of its natural resources. In an effort to decrease violence and kidnappings, the Nigerian government offered an ongoing amnesty to militants in august 2009; the amnesty has kept fragile tranquility in place. In order to ensure lasting peace, the government must look beyond short-term monetary payoffs and focus on strengthen...
Although the issue is larger than [Madonna] and wftat she has done and is doing, it's important to deal with the larger issue by engaging the problems raised by her in the larger framework of concern. First, any White persons, regardless of how well-meaning they are, should be historically conscious of and morally sensitive to Africa's and African peoples' relationships to Europe and European people. It is a relationship rooted in a legacy of imperialism, colonialism and the Holocaust of enslavement and the open wounds of current and continued exploitation of Africa's human and natural resources by the transnational corporations they and others control. Thus, it's a bad choice for Madonna's project to be called "Raising Malawi" as if the whole country needs parenting and the people's po...
