The G-8 is just wasting their money on Africa, it's impossiable for the first world nations to tuckle poverty in Africa. Besides poverty in Africa can not be stopped by donating money to build industrial factories and food, to prevent poverty first you must educate them about the issue, like what causes poverty in the first place?, how to prevent poverty and educate them on economics. The first thing the G-8 should have been looking at is again educating them in economics, international languages to build relations with strong economically nations like Japan, U.S and Canada, European Union Nations and China. Most African ain't educated; so the educated, rich and powerful trick them into choosing options that will benefit the educated, rich and powerful groups. Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is a very inteligent man including his peers aswell, they trick the least educated individuals into voting for them during elections and those groups are the first to complain in any case. They don't use common sense most of them, The Mugabe Adiministration promises them food if they get elected and they will be aplying them with food until the elections finished, we all know after the elections are finished and they have won they continue their rampage. Those individuals would be the first to suffer. That's a good example of what most African States are. The people should be educated in Health to prevent Viruses and other diseases. The first world nations should cut the donations, the africans should learn by theirselves to understand the worldmarket it's the same as the saying never give a rat bread crumbs or it will scourge for milk don't miss understand me by saying Africans are rats cause l am not referring them to that. I am an African myself and understand most of these issues from the encounters l have faced.
