Many African nations themselves have said that rather than feeling sorry for them and sending chump change, it would be much better if people simply started buying from these countries, visiting these countries, and basically allowing them to function as a "real" country.

The perception of the African continent as the world's poor neighbour is massively damaging.
Have you ever been to Goa.... How has that concept helped the poor there?
Billions are spent there and there are STILL areas of absolute and total destitution, undeveloped urban areas.
We have great trading links with India so what's gone wrong there then?
