Lets just take one example of behind-the-scenes manipulation and conspiracy:

The nation Rwanda had been living in peace and relative prosperity since hundreds of years. The Hutu and Tutsi lived side by side. Admittedly they had a sort of caste system with the Tutsi ruling and the Hutu farming, but it somehow worked.

Then came the Belgians, claiming that Rwanda "belonged" to them. It had so been "decided" in Europe. The Tutsi, of course, would have none of that. They said: "No thanks, we will keep our independence".

Angered by their sovereignty Belgium then teamed up with the Hutu and said to them: Do you want a revolution? Belgium equipped them with anti-tutsi propaganda and armed them.

Ever since then, the Hutu and Tutsi are enganged in mass-slaughtering each other, in genocide and constant bloodshed.

And this is only ONE example of how the dumb control-freaks of our white race have set up one tribe against another.

when the colonies left, most African countries still had mass amounts of natural resources. I have friends from South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zamiba.

They are from both black and white africans and they all say the same thing.
The politcal leaders are come to power with the same good intention and deliver nothing. They all suffer from their own Insatiable GREED.

It's all to quick to play the blame game. Take Zimbabwe, 28 years and the country is in its worst state ever and all Mugagbe can do is blame anyone and everyone apart from himself.

Bring back Nelson Mandela. A very true and noble man.

P.S. thats not to say this is the case with every African Country.

These thoughts are mine and mine only, I can be wrong but i'm only human.

i remember reading an article a month or 2 ago about genetics, apparently africans are genetically not as smart as others, that would explain why they are so far behind. i'm not trying to piss any1 off just an article i read i'll try to find it and post a link to it.

1) Europe, North America, and more recently Asia.
2) Tons of untapped mineral wealth.
3) The last 10k years of climate change.

Taking deep breaths...

A few people have brought up important points. Arms trading, deliberate divide and conquer.

There is still very very little mention of the I.M.F.- Instead of trying to bluff your way through the argument with the few facts you have, why don't you read something on the subject? How many of you actually bothered to click on the essay I posted?

My post seems to have been completely ignored. I can deal with that in an unimportant subject, but this is a major issue.

Many people are talking big here but ignoring the major factor. You simply cannot claim to have any knowledge of what is going on in the developing world without taking international bank manipulation into account.

Kudos to the people that know what is going on, but a lot of you are embarrasing yourselves with this pseudo-historical stuff. Africa is being ruined by debt.

And before anyone come out with "Oh and since when are you the expert",
I have studied this stuff for ten years now, got a degree in it.

Question for you all: To what extent are the I.M.F and other banking organisations responsible for famine, poverty and lack of healthcare in Africa?

You should probably be a bit more careful with your semantics there, just so none is confused or offended. I assume you mean that European culture has become superior through memetic evolution, and not that Europeans themselves have somehow become better endowed peoples genetically or otherwise.


Why would I mean otherwise? Yes, of course European people themselves have become better endowed genetically and otherwise.

It's how evolution works.

It's not like evolution works on inanimate objects. It works on the person, the organism.


This notion that everyone, and every race, is equal, is just absurd and goes against the laws of the universe. Not one single person is genetically equal to another (aside from identical twins) and the races of humans aren't either.



Europeans had to fight through the harsh, winter climates in search of food and shelter to survive. Many perished, and the ones that didn't perish went on to become stronger. Natural selection if you will. Evolution came into play and made the survivors of each generation more intelligent than the last.

Africans and other darker races that lived in warmer climates lived a much better life. It was warm, so shelter was not as needed, and with warm weather meant food everywhere. This means the Africans had no reason at all to evolve to survive.


So today you have two races, for instance:

1) White people, whom's ancestors had to evolve and become more intelligent to survive.

2) Black people, whom didn't have to. They had it easy.


This is why there's such a different in IQ between the two races. Whites average IQ is 105, blacks average IQ is 70. That's a difference of massive proportions.

South Africa provides 60% of GDP for Africa with Arab North Africa providing most of the rest.

i completely agree with you, white people are definitly more evolved and geneticaly advanced, for that matter so are asians. there are many articles about this, just look it up, the average IQ for white people is greater than that of africans

Evolution is different for everyone

Africa with all its wealth in the ground they mine it the rest of the world pay bottom dollar for it?? as it goes africa is the second largest continent in the world.. my theory is that the sate of africa suits the other powers of the world if we wanted to fix it we could same as poverty world hunger ect
greed is a major part of the problem if africa could stand out on its own and traded its commodities it would become one of if not the most powerful country in the world! so either pay top dollar on the commodities
lose status as a super power or keep the country at a low pay the people there in power to keep it that way you get your ipod and cell phone and the fat cats get fatter well thats my theory

Oh...so basically they were just following orders right? 800,000 dead too, cause they were following orders.

Now sheesh....when the German SS did that they were held personally responsible for their OWN actions. They were treated like, well, ADULTS! But when Africans do that, then its someone ELSE's fault, because the world treats them like CHILDREN that were simply led astray and never responsible for their own actions. Hey the guy on the radio said pick up a machete and slaughter the old lady next door, it isn't THEIR fault, its the radio's fault! Damn the white man and his radios!

Yeah, and that attitude is NOT part of the problem.

It's simple: people living in those areas do not have the drive to expand. They lived life in their own way for centuries.

Or maybe its their drive to maintain nature?

ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!

I have posted twice with important information about Africa and the reason it's in the state it is.

There's a big pseudo debate going on here, with people attempting to derail the thread, and encourage topic drift away from the main issues.

Do the words "Drop the Debt" mean anything to any of you? This was a massive campaign in Europe to end the deliberate economic manipulation that is causing the pain in Africa

If you want to know more on this subject; Google the International Monetary Fund, an "aid agency" which actually sucks more money out of Africa then it puts in. How's that for aid?

MORE INFO: Check my other posts in this thread...

Again: Can anyone answer this question. The more you ignore it the more you prove your ignorance:

To what extent are the I.M.F and other banking organisations responsible for famine, poverty and lack of healthcare in Africa?

Here's a great documentary...Really watchable...It answers the central question posed by the original poster:

"Why, 50 years after independence, is Ghana, which is rich in minerals and is a stable democracy, still one of the poorest countries in the world?"

You need to wake up people. I'm going to keep posting materials on this...
