Answer 1

Regardless of western aid and intervention, the biggest problem is one of African corruption in government. Western aid frequently doesn't get through and foreign funds are diverted to the pockets of the dictators, or used for military means. It doesn't matter how much medicine or food we send - a lot of it will end up being traded or sold. Sad but true.
African peace will never come while the dictators remain in charge.
