Into Africa

Does foreign aid to Africa only make matters worse? Will AIDS wipe out a generation? Can Zimbabwe be saved from Robert Mugabe’s misrule? What can stop the genocide in Darfur? How will Africans feed and educate themselves? Does debt relief promote or ultimately hinder economic growth?

Africa’s challenges seem too numerous to count, and too overwhelming to overcome. The AIDS pandemic victimizes the sub-Sahara, even as high birth rates burden societies already unable to educate and employ their youth. Poverty remains a scourge, and ethnic wars seem emblematic of the continent’s incapacity for tolerance. Besieged by problems, Africa is often dismissed as a basket case and consigned to a future as a ward of the international community.
