Africa - a very dark continent

The ignorant attitude of AU leaders to Gaddafi is sickening.

In UK, Gaddafi would come under section 4 of the Mental Health Act, for his and others safety.

The ambivalent attitude of Africans to his behaviour explains why sub saharan Africa is extremely backward. 

I sometimes wonder if Joseph Conrad was right.  Although the darkness he refers to now applies to African 'leaders' and their complicit, intellectually lazy, superstitious, ethnically biased and innately corrupt populace.

At least Moses Chamboko of the Zimbabwe Telegraph has some moral fibre. Nigerian and other West African journalists are too busy chasing brown envelopes during the election season to even bother reporting on the events in Libya.
