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.

What parts of Africa did the various slave traders collect slaves from?
Q. I have heard that there were certain parts of Africa that remained untouched by the slave trade. I know that in many cases it was Africans themselves who sold other Africans to the white slave traders. I believe that there were no slaves taken from Kenya.

A. European slave traders got all their slaves from west Africa because it was the closest place to the end users in the new world. Freight costs were very high. Also allot of the slaves died on the way across the Atlantic. Taking them from East Africa was just not practical. Arab slave traders did collect slaves in East Africa.

A. Blaming it on colonization ignores the fact that diseases have always existed. I don't recall Diamond blaming disease on colonization. If he did, he would greatly reduce his credibility. Where he did mention it, it was about the white people not being able to take tropical diseases. The disease problem in Africa doesn't involve whites or colonists.

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

What is the best way to start helping the Hungry in Africa?
Q. I am 12 years old, and I am trying to start an organization to help those in Africa who are hungry. How should I start off? Who should I contact first, that is going to be willing to help me, without me having to pay any money? I have already collected $4.61. someone told me to contact Oprah, people of charity behavious, clergy men, and my local government's department of agriculture for help. Which one will help the most? I really need to get started, people in Africa are dieing each second!!!

A. Get involved in some local charities and plan a presentation stating why you wish to help and a quote on how much money you wish to acquire. If you wish to start your own organization, try your state's agriculture extension.
