    Interesting point. It is good to see that you follow up about these important african questions. But frequently I have the feeling that it is useless to think about it. Africa is somehow gone from our mindes and from television. There seems to be only tribal wars and frustrations in a large range of African countries. So why to look at this? … But you do the right thing: Better to look at it than to leave African problems alone. Go on please!.
