It is no coincidence that the majority of countries living in poverty are bogged down in superstition and primitive religious practice. Such cultures are a breeding ground for dictatorships and violence.

The West are not responsible for the ills of countries/continents still living in the past and refusing to move on. These people are often their own worst enemies and need to do more to help themselves otherwise nothing will ever change.

The West spend billions every year to help but change needs to come from within. Therein lies the problem.
