U.S., World: Obama stands up for war-ravaged Africa

  • There are wars over land and wars over resources. And it is still far too easy for those without conscience to manipulate whole communities into fighting among faiths and tribes.
  • Presdient Barack Obama • Discussing how conflicts in Africa can get out of hand for selfish, heartless reasons. Obama says the differences in cultures should be “a source of strength, not a cause for division.” • source

    Come on Obama. Make it a serious crime punishable with a lengthy prison term to offer a bribe to any African politician, official, bureaucrat, cop, judge, etc.
    It’s cold cash bribes from the rest of the world that are, generally speaking, responsible for the so-called African corruption problem.
    Bribes are used to cheaply mine resources (including oil and diamonds)without regard to the people or environment, sell weapons, and dump toxic waste across Africa and on its shores.
    Without outside bribes, Africa will quickly emerge as the prosperous continent it should already be.
    Obama must pass anti-bribery legislation that carries a lengthy jail sentence for anyone, or firm, who uses bribes to rob Africa of its future.
