Well , Well
it sounds very bad , we didn’t see AFRICA . In my opinion , I think because of the LEADERS … in fact they look like” thieves “. Africa countries are good countries ,but they need development in education and technology .
CUL8R!

hash -true true (was just trying to be objective about it and consider possible reasons for the oversight). Would it be accurate then to say

“The economist does not care about black people!” ala Kanye West Lol.

Screw them – we’ll get on those radars on our own steam. It’s not surprising the world ignores Africa, because most of the world think it knows something of Africa’s plight. The rest still think we have lions in our backyards (it’s surprising how widely held that belief is).

Africa’s only hope is Africa and all its inhabitants, regardless of race, colour or creed.

AfroM, no I don’t buy into that. We live in an age where there is access to more information than you can comprehend. In 1990 I might say there might be information lacking, but not in 2005.

There are companies that all they do is research Africa. The UN itself does these types of studies. Mindboggling really, to think that you can “overlook” or discount a whold continent when doing a global study.

hey, do you think its because of lack of data? Lakini there are lots of companies that do research and polling…there is no excuse…I know economic (reliable) data is harder to tabulate but still?

I agree, especially with the economist, i am often dissatisfied with the measly pages we get in there. Africa is a whole continent! plus we get lumped in the tab Middle East/Africa, irks me to no end. [pardon the mini rant]
