Re: Too true

"That's not what I'd suggest, nor did I allude to that. I suspect we've done more than enough meddling and imposed solutions are unlikely to work anyway. As I said I don't know what the answer is but I live in hope that it will turn up"

Given their past (highly-competitive tribes meaning frequent border clashes), many would tell you, "Good luck." As they say, nice guys finish last, and anyone who tried would likely get backstabbed. It's in their history, in their blood. That's why it's hard to civilize Africa. They don't have a record of anything close to what Europe has experienced. To deconstruct an adage, it's hard to teach a man to fish to sustain himself if he doesn't understand the concept of a fish.
