Africa

George Ayittey was interviewed on PBS' Wide Angle last night. Mr. Ayittey is from Ghana and is a professor of economics at American University in Washington D.C. This was without a doubt one of the best interviews I have ever seen or heard on the subject of Africa. He was honest about the reasons for the continent's problems and was accurate in his assesment of the west's stance on Africa.
I highly recommend that you read the transcript of the interview by clicking here.

Thanks for the link. I watched the video despite the fact that Bill Moyers is like nails on a chalkboard!

Fabulous interview... (I agree, however, with the assessment about Moyers)..

Finally someone is willing to speak the truth about the state of Africa. I loved how he blamed Jesse Jackson scarign white politicians intio silence.
