How can Africa as a continent justify growing coffee and coca for the west while people are starving?
Q. Should Africa ban all exports and expel all foreign companies and start working towards meeting the needs of its people. Is an open door policy just an invitation for western countries to steal from them. Everyone knows that in the past the western countries in the past used colonisation as the method of stealing how ever the more sophisticate way of stealing now is using companies and currency.

A. Depending on wind and wave conditions, it could take several weeks. No less than a week or two though. Figure 5 knots (7mph) average speed for those ships, if they had decent winds.

I am traveling to Africa as a volunteer, does anybody have any fund raising ideas?
Q. I will be traveling to Ghana, Africa in May 2009 to assist in a health care setting. The problem is, the trip is going to cost about $4,000.

How do I obtain more information on Africa's agriculture?
Q. Hi, I am doing research for a company on Africa. In particular, research on the poorer communities: the type of soil they have, what type of fertilizer is available to Africans, what can be grown and planted in Africa? I thought if anyone could help with these questions, that Yahoo Answers could. If you cannot answer my questions, could you direct me to someone who could?

A. It is a total scam ... please read below from CBS News "In recent weeks, an e-mail plea has blanketed the Internet, similar to a classified advertisement that has appeared in newspapers all over the country, offering high-end pedigreed puppies for bargain basement prices $200 for a Yorkshire Terrier that would normally sell for up to 10 times the price. The e-mail pleas and classifieds say that the author is a dog breeder who is on a religious mission in Africa and needs to unload the puppies to good homes as soon as possible. Those interested are told to send their money (to cover shipping and handling) to an address in Nigeria and the dogs would arrive in several weeks. Not surprisingly, the puppies never arrive."

How is South Africa a 1st world country, extremely civilized, and the rest of Africa is not?
Q. Even the 2 countries that are basically INSIDE of South Africa - Lesotho and Swaziland - are uncivilized. South Africa also has equal rights for LGBT, which is a huge step, while the rest of Africa basically bans homosexuality and many countries use the death penalty against homosexuals. How did South Africa seemingly rapidly industrialize compared to the rest of Africa? There's not even any "civilized" countries anywhere around them.

A. Well cape town was the first colony the British had in Africa, and it worked hard to keep it and develop it as it was a key port town. So Britain poured a lot of effort into stabilising it and industrialising it, and formed a country that could look after itself, so when it declared independence it could stand on it's own two feet, whereas other African colony's asked for independence when they had only just started with government, and therfore encountered corruption amongst other problems.

A. there weren't really "countries" in africa before European colonization. Instead the land was inhabited by hundreds of tribes, that didn't have the strictly defined legal style boundries that countries have today. The tribes also moved around a little bit; so in summary, there were no states but a large number of tribes that have little resimblance to the idea of a country as we know it today. In fact European powers tended to group warring tribes in the same states when they left africa in the 60's which is why there has been so much conflict

A. This is your money, so you should research and find a program you personally like. Make sure you always search for the good AND bad because every single program has them and MANY have rather under-handed tactics to get a good majority of the money for themselves. You don't want to donate $600 thinking it's going to feed a needy family only to later learn that 75% of that went to "administrative funds." Before you start researching, you should decide on what you want your money to do. Do you want to help support a child?
