The Dark Continent
If there is a Hell on earth it is Africa. Rwanda, Somalia, The Sudan, The Congo, Zimbabwe, and South Africa - to a lesser intent, are diseased, starving, and awash in tribal conflict. When the final story about the United Nations is published, its failure to bring peace and prosperity to a continent rich in culture and mineral wealth will be the context of the story.
Those without a soul might advocate cutting foreign aid completely and letting nature take its course. But the world cannot continue to turn a blind eye to a corner of the world where men and women are trying to keep their families safe. The recent case of a 13 year old girl in Somalia touched my heart. After being raped by three men she was proclaimed an adulterer and stoned to death in a sports stadium.
If there is a moral case for war anywhere in the world it is Africa.
