Convinced to stop contributing after some discussions with a former 'receiver' of Aid in Zimbabwe. He was part of the big well-known Christian charity on the Africa side of things and in his case teaching (and administration of food and about 20 other jobs hehe).
Anyways, I became convinced that donating to Africa is actually causing more harm than good.
I don't pretend I know a solution either. I just know that, good intentions aside, this seems to be backfiring and possibly what we do there contributes to never-ending strife and long-lasting political problems.
One possible solution worth considering:
Basically divide up large sections of Africa to be colonized. Drive all the inhabitants into a corner of Africa.
But you see what i mean is not really 'colonizing' but simply take the countries and evict everyone.
After about 20 years those countries would become modern '1st world' places.
I mean just a thought to consider.
