    SubSaharian Africa is like a burning building... no hope, no matter what.

    All is hopeless. Economic problems, corruption, one in six women pregnant by rape, disease including AIDS, lack of universal education, barbarism and violence...

    Pretty much the same way the male candidates are... by "demanding" that the world do something about it, but refusing t do anything aout it themselves.

    Here are a few thoughts to consider:

    The African Continent is made up of 54 different soveriegn countries and 5 European protectorateas, with an aggregate population of approximately 900,000,000.

    The military manpower available to those countries (assuming they took every single qualified male and female fit for duty as a soldier, thus destroying their own economy) numbers approximately 211,000,000.

    The civilian populations outnumber the military population by roughly 5-1, and is, in most cases, similarly armed to the military. And this assumes that everyone available to fight in the military would actually fight for the governments in question. That is unlikely, since the soldiers would be just as disheartened by their governments as the civilians are.

    If these people wanted to get rid of their corrupt governments, they could do it fairly easily by overthrowing them. They choose not to. And so, the political leaders, male and female... it doesn't really matter... continue to be a part of the system that they claim to be overhauling and trying to make less corrupt.

    If the people aren't willing to take responsibility for their own livelihoods and quality of life and the corruption of their government, there is nothing that any outside force... including their own political leadership... will be able to do to stop it.

    To put it in simple language, as bad as it is, they don't seem to be doing anything about it. I guess they ain't hurting enough yet. Maybe if they start REALLY hurting, they'll decide its time for a change.
