Quote from Shagi:
Yes, unlike most armchair pretenders here, I have lived in Africa, Europe, Latin America, North America, China and travelled by road from Cairo, Egypt to Cape Town, South Africa, you will be surprised that most Africans are happy to help a stranger. Yes there are pockets of fighting there but hugely dsitorted by the Westerm media. Some here even think Africa is one country.
And I may add poverty is not unique to Africa. Eastern Europe is littered with huge populations living worse off than most Africans. There are more people in China that live in poverty than the whole of Africa.
