How do we improve the political leadership, in Africn nations, without exuding to much influence or force?

Question

**African**

Answer 1

This is tricky and a considerable stretch as regards Africa's improvement.  But as well much improvement is occurring even as we speak, though ever so slowly.  Behold the attentions now given by many influential notables, in particular those from the fashion, film and entertainment, high and low tech, humanitarian aide organizations, and economic and healthcare NGO's, most of whom or much of which aligned industries wield billions of dollars and more important, genuine interest in the welfare of African nations.  

Among these attentions as regards statecraft is the first efforts might be to learn the peculiar circumstances ensuing in each nation, some of which no outsider can yet interfere with.  Bear in mind that Africa is a huge continent, second only to Asia, many of which countries are themselves very large, two or three of which alone are larger than all Europe, and each of which is as distinctive in make-up as any country found in Europe.

And so each requires a different scrutiny: there can be no "one-size-fits-all" initiative that if employed can be expected to result in anything but failure.  Consider the scores of different dialects and cultural differences stretching throughout the thousands of differing towns and cities, and villages, which communication weakness bodes poorly for unifying it all into a common trade and economics base.

Market and economic forces, more than political ones, certainly will be the unifying element: the political forces are simply those which outsiders cannot get involved with.  But economics is more plain, because so many are suffering of famine and wars.  And China, for example, knows this; that is, the economical importance.  The political impasses among Africans are residual things, though this is not to be diminished in importance: the example of this is writ large in the Middle East.

For now, what is well done is to hope that the unethical aspects peculiar to each country in Africa can win over the despotic aspects, hope that the international trade's double-standard shared in European and American diplomacy is diminished, and in turn that a fair trade policy is uniquely applied to each of the African nations.  This is difficult to manifest.

Many people of statehood and philanthropy have found one of the most glaring problems Africa is faced with rests not with Africa proper but with outside racism, so stark that even the staunchest of business heads in Europe and the USA concede there has got to be something terribly amiss in the DNA of the powerful few, who command the world market forces, not to admit that their extreme aversions as regards Africa is what continues to undermine constructive change.  

Had the east European countries undergone the same sort of blind eye that Africa has, these same European nations would be at one another's throats, too.

Africa's condition is a human one.  No African nation has  focused its attentions on world power as we have known it among western European and far east Asian nations.

When the Soviet Union dissolved, money and influence poured into Russia and the former Soviet states from the USA.  The USSR was the USA's starkest enemy for over 40 years but as conveniently and quickly became its greatest champion at the dissolution of the USSR.  Why so magnanimous on this and yet so averse regarding Africa?

Africa has done no more than fall to neglect from a world market while at once the Market exploits Africa for its natural resources as it has done for over a hundred years.  Now Africa is but still ignored.  One might suppose that Africa is felt to be "too black" by Americans and west Europeans, and is not understood and finally because of ignorance and fears, theirs has been the causes of Africa's marginalizing.

Have try it out with Mirror ! Mirror ! on the wall?

Look back in the past and present.

Now what do you want for your future.

To make this world a better place to live.

Or in moving backwards to the twilight zone.

Look in the real world.

What happen when digging up graveyards of failures and horrors of the past.

In shaking and waking up the dead.

With the dead Mummy in ruling , leading and guiding with cheap-skate ghostly constituition and ghostly laws in moving backwards in time.

When the dead was buried was long gone with time.

Left behind empty skeleton of skull and bones with two empty eye sockets in leading living human kind in finding their way back to the graveyards with them too.

While kicking the butts of God in not worshiping God.

Who is this magical "we" you are speaking of?  I think the political leadership in Africa is Africa's problem not mine.

Answer 4

There needs to be a better system of government in those African countries in question. The leadership need to be more honest and interested in helping their people. Most African countries as you know have terrible leaders who exploit their people and steal the countries resources for their own interests. It a little like where the USA is headed.

Interesting question - considering that we are currently on a "campaign" to provide democracy & liberty to the Iraqis - I guess its not a far cry to want to spread the "democratic" love around. But judging by the response & effect of continually outsourcing labor once done by Americans  - I dont know if Americans would welcome the idea of "helping" Africans.

The issue with the troubled African nations is the same for any nation - they want to be involved with  the global economy - provide commodoties & goods for their own people & probably create a defense to protect themselves from "rebels". Nothing happens overnight - and because some of the nations are so far behind ( in comparison to other countries ) its gonna realistically take a few generations AND support from super powers such as the USA to see some changes.

On the political side - they have the same woes- some people campaign, make promises & then get into office with a completely DIFFERENT agenda. The MAJOR difference with some of those nations is the cultural religious factions that practice violent superiority type actions. We ( the USA ) would have to eradicate those crazies that terrorize their countrymen just because they may have been born 10 miles down the road or practice a slightly different religion.

Since Britain abandoned Africa no other modern nation has wanted to go in & treat them the way we treat the Saudis. The money potential may not be as big as the Saudi connection , but there is potential there. China figured it out - and will most likely gain from their endeavors in Africa. Only time will tell - how much influence China will have. Would the US have benefitted from aiding African nations - probably if it was done fairly & not in an exploitive manner. But in order to get Africa on the right track we would have to use "extreme force" to eliminate their biggest threat & then hope the other non crazies could independently run their country. But judging by the Iraqis - whose to say Africa wouldnt turn out the same way?

Answer 6

How do we improve the political leadership in the USA (we, as in people outside the USA)? Should we? Is it any of our business? Would the Americans be offended and annoyed if we tried?

I suppose you could try establishing diverse media outlets, investing in local business and infrastructure, wag our fingers at them, get some normally silent countries to speak up...
