Mr. Myers pretends to know all that ails Africa, but his analysis betrays the one-track mind of a typical, racist Westerner. Shallow-minded people like him always rush to damp all the blame for Africa's complex problems on Africans themselves. If he had a modicum of good sense and judgment, he would have been able to see, and perhaps touch on, the most important reason for Africa's unenviable situation. The truth is, unlike in the past when most Africans were naive about Western intentions,we are now able to see the invisible, evil hand of the West ceaselessly working to keep Africans forever poor and hungry. We now know the real reason behind Africa's backward existence: It is the West's entrenched policy of keeping Africa a perpetual basket case, using the weapon of 'foreign aid'. The West hopes that, in this way, Africa and its immense resources will forever remain in its control. Presently, Eritrea is the only Sub-Sahara African country that has wised up to this age-old, unholy Western agenda, and has shown the good sense and courage to reject Western 'aid' and strike out on its own. Despite the huge obstacles that have been placed on it path by the West, Eritrea has made spectacular social and economic strides, under a fundamentally independent national development program that relies primarily on its unwavering principle of self-reliance. The price Eritrea is continuing to pay for its courageous stance, in terms of an intense and sustained Western campaign to undermine and sabotage its efforts, is clear to anyone who has followed its recent history. Western nations, despite their pretentious make-believe concerns for Africa's welfare, are in fact determined to keep this continent in the throes of perpetual poverty and famine. This is not to say that Africa is not plagued by too many corrupt and incompetent leaders. However, the West itself is the one that is laying a fertile ground for the existence of those leaders, in the first place. It facilitates their climb to power and then sustains them once they are there. Then, to add insult to injury, this very perpetrator of Africa's woes (along with some insensitive bigots such as Mr. Myers), turns around and trashes Africans for the misfortunes they have been caused to suffer. Mr. myers, your analysis is bereft of any objectivity, or balance. Blaming Africans for the vicious cycle of dependence that your own governments are constantly working to perpetuate in Africa makes no sense at all!

No one is denying that there is famine in some parts of Africa due to chronic mismanagement of countries whose governments have always worked for the benefit of their former colonial masters instead of their people. For your information any political leadership in Africa that dares to work for the betterment of its people will not see peace thanks to the imperial policies of former colonial powers and the US. A good example is Eritrea, you don't hear about famine in Eritrea because the government there decided not to be the sick child of west yet ever since it decided to do so the western powers have unleashed every puppet government around Eritrea with the help of western powers to destroy the visionary leadership of Eritrea, so far they haven't succeeded and never will because the Eritrean political leadership is not for sale. As for the indignation about Zimbabwe it is nothing but crocodile tears, the only reason Mugabe is dictator is because he is not playing the colonial game anymore, the British and their friends are fighting to make sure the white settlers in Zimbabwe to keep controlling the economy and own the most fertile land, if he let them control everything he would be lauded as a "democrat" like the butcher in Ethiopia but you won't hear a peep from the west about him, why? because he is their puppet doing their bidding starting war against Eritrea and keeping it going and invading Somalia on their behalf. I implore you to learn more or stop making a fool of yourself by writing condescedingly about Africa which you seem to have little or no knowledge about. Mr. Myers,
