What country in Africa do the most beautiful people come from?
Q. Of course, I would say Eritrea and Ethiopia have the most beautiful people but that's because I'm from there. I think that people from Somalia and Mauritania are the most beautiful people from Africa. And people from the northern part of Sudan.

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.

Would you support putting military focus in Africa to stop the gangs and genocide?
Q. Gangs are as powerful as a small army in Africa. They kill people, kidnap children and brainwash young boys to fight. They are nothing like the gangs in the US. Would you support sending troops to Africa to kill these gang members?

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. Because I am a student, this is a bit of a problem for me. I am already planning on sending a letter to family and friends asking for their support; does anyone know of any grants or opportunities I could seek to help defray the cost?

When did suffering start in Africa and why?
Q. Africans are dying of hunger and thirst. They are just skin and bones! When did suffering start in Africa and why?
Asked by Delirium tremens - Sun Dec 18 12:05:23 2005 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. People have been suffering since there were people. However, Africa is especially troubled. This can be traced back to European colonization and exploitation. Independence in Africa did not go well, and it has been in a state of constant political turmoil (which precludes any sort of widespread economic or social success) ever since. Political corruptions makes it especially difficult for food to reach the hungry. Rapid population growth is also burdensome. There may be enough food to feed the hungry in the world. But were it to reach them, they would simply have more children -- who would them go hungry again. As long as populations continue to grow, people will continue to be miserable. Due to the legacy of colonization, Africa… [cont.]

Q. Whats with only NATO stopping the pirates. I have done major reasearch on the current event on pirates and have not found any articles about Africa helping. If anyone finds any articles about Africa helping or not helping enough please leave the articles web address.
Asked by heinodj - Mon Apr 20 19:18:58 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Kenya is providing the venue for prosecuting the pirates. Looking at a map of Somalia, the country is practically all coastline. There aren't really any African nations near it. Kenya and Eritrea, but their navies are quite small, mostly consisting of patrol boats. Ethiopia has no coast. Djibouti has its own issues, but provides bases for the US and other countries. That's pretty much it. The European countries and the US have economic interests, such as owning the tankers and ships sailing though the area.

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.

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."

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. I do volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity and The Fuller Center for Housing (that's how I got my nickname!), so I can share how it's worked for me with them. You don't pay to join these two organizations. You do pay for your own airfare and meet the rest of the group in a certain place. You also pay a fee which covers your expenses while on the ground (housing, food, transportation) as well as a donation to the local organization to help with their work. The trips generally last one to three weeks; most volunteers can't give more time than that at once. As for housing, most of the trips I've been on have put us in shared rooms in a non-luxury hotel; for my most recent trip, the organization rented the upper half of a duplex for the… [cont.]

A. Apartheid was only around from 1948 onwards. Churches started speaking out about slavery in the 1700's but the concept of racial prejudice as something bad is fairly modern. Look at movies from the 1940's for example. blacks were generally portrayed as simple folk who needed a firm hand. In South Africa the Dutch Reformed Church was and maybe still is very much old testament orientated. In the OT laws, beliefs and concepts are very different from the NT, but in both time periods, slavery was common. The Bible is people's interpretation and memory of what God said or Jesus said as well as historical commentary and the sayings of prophets and disciples.
