We need to stop westing our time and accept realities. It might take us a long time to get were others are, but we will get there. I like Obama saying "YES WE CAN" it's time for us to build Africa, and stop westing our time in usless politics,,,what happed in Congo for last 10 years wheather it's right or wrong has nothing to do with where we want to go like Africans, and the failure of aids in Africa, so it's sad if we always decide to thing backward instead of thinking forward; Instead of spending much time seeking for real solution to our problems we spend time digging useless informations, and debating our useless past mistakes. It's time for us to go foward and I congratulate Mr President Paul Kagame for his remarkable efforts and I congratulate all Africans who are doing their best to make our continent the responsible and respectful continent.

Dambisa Moyo knows this and should openly discuss this fact.

We have never argued against humanitarian AID even though it also does get squandered occasionally in the African context. It is Economic AID we are against. Please see the following statement and videos to clarify our argument. http://johnkaranja.com/2009/03/15/dambisa-moyos-dead-aid-the-true-story-of-economic-aid-to-africa/ We will be updating the website with an Action plan. If you want to help Africans, support a business venture at http://www.kiva.org and urge all your friends to do so. @Phillip,

Rather than urging people for inaction, you should be explaining how people in the West can better help end poverty and suffering in Africa. If it is not by giving money to aid organizations, explain where that money would be better spent. By simply urging inaction, you are encouraging us to wash our hands of our responsibility of helping those in need, which does nothing to help solve short-term or long-term problems in Africa. I understand that giving money to aid organizations does not help long-term problems, but I believe that saving a few thousand people of dying from malaria in Malawi cannot hurt things. I believe that ordinary citizens in countries like Malawi, where the average daily income is little more than 50 cents, would love to get a job with a hedge fund. But these people also would like to drink clean water and have food to eat. Seeing as I cannot start a hedge fund in Malawi, my next best option is to give them these basic supplies until their economic situation improves. Simply waiting for the situation to improve without helping them in the short-term is not a solution to poverty.
